Career

Club career

The well travelled O'Halloran joined Galway United in July 2007, signing from Derry City whom he had joined only a few months earlier in February 2007; [1] this was after a year-long spell with Shelbourne where he won a League winners medal. The player had joined Shelbourne in December 2005 [2] after spending eight seasons at Cork City. Having spent the beginning of his career at Crosshaven AFC, he moved to Leeds United and then to Hull City before moving to his home country.

Formerly a captain with Cork City, he has previously had a loan spell at Longford Town, before speculation of a move to Waterford United was quashed following his move to Shelbourne.

O'Halloran rejoined former club Shelbourne on loan from Galway United for the first half of 2008 season. [3] O'Halloran was on the Galway United transfer list from 1 July 2008 when his loan period with Shelbourne ended. [4] He immediately joined Cobh Ramblers in July 2008 for the remainder of the 2008 season.

On 2 March 2010, it was confirmed that he would sign for Cork City and would act as player/assistant manager for the club signing a one-year contract. [5] In October 2010 he signed a new contract with City, but will not be continuing in his role as assistant manager so that he can concentrate on playing. [6] Greg was named as club captain of Cork City in February 2011. [7] In Jan 2012 Greg returned to his native Crosshaven where he is now player-manager of the Crosshaven AFC Senior team.

International career

It was the sixth year that Liam Buckley is the team's manager, following replacing Pete Mahon in December 2011. With the new change to the League of Ireland structure, 3 clubs were set to be relegated from the Premier Division, which has created an intense relegation between many clubs, including Pats' due to their lower budget than previous years following a poor 2016 season in which they finished 7th in the league, making 2017 the first year in 7 years without European football. The relegation battle went right down to the last day of the season, where Pat's secured the necessary point to stay up following a 1–1 draw away to Derry City.
