Cobh Ramblers have boosted their 2016 promotion hopes with the acquisition of former Cork City striker Rob Lehane.

21-year-old Lehane spent four seasons at Cork City, helping the club to under 19 league and cup success in 2012 and 2013, having joined the club's underage set-up from underage side Douglas Hall.

Lehane made 33 first team appearances for the Leesiders but found opportunities limited and manager John Caulfield sent him on loan to Sligo Rovers in July 2015, whom he then went on to help avoid relegation.

Lehane is the sixteenth player to sign for Ramblers ahead of the 2016 season.
