Cork striker Mark O'Mahony will link up with fellow Munsterman Noel Hunt at League One side Reading after Brighton and Hove Albion sanctioned the 20-year-old's second loan move. O'Mahony expanded the Irish legion at Brighton in 2023 when joining from Cork City for an initial fee of €80,000. He made three first-team appearances for the Seagulls, two in the Premier League and a goalscoring League Cup outing against Crawley Town. Injuries restricted his game-time to 13 appearances on loan at Portsmouth last season but he links up with Reading fit and fresh.

Waterfordman Hunt is rebuilding his squad in his first full season at the helm, having taken over last December. O'Mahony, whose contract was last year extended to 2027, visited the club's training ground today to finalise his season-long temporary switch, with an announcement imminent.
