Ruairi Keating has left St Pat’s by mutual consent and rejoined Cork City.
The Westport man has been struggling to settle in at his new club and hasn’t played since July 4.
He was left on the bench by Stephen Kenny for last week’s 3-1 win over FC Vaduz in the Conference League.
Keating, now 29, will return to Cork where he scored 13 league goals last season.
