Cork's Eoghan O’Connell
Debutant Eoghan O’Connell scored a late winner as promotion-chasing Wrexham maintained their challenge at the top of the Vanarama National League with a 2-1 win at Altrincham on Saturday.
The Cork man (27), who joined the club owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney on Transfer Deadline Day, has had spells at Celtic, Cork City and most recently Charlton before signing for the Welsh side.

Ollie Palmer put Wrexham ahead on the hour but it needed late heroics from O’Connell to secure three points.
Not a bad way to make your debut!
