Neal Horgan (born 29 November 1979 in San Francisco) is a former professional footballer famed for his service to Cork City in the League of Ireland Premier Division.
Youths and Schoolboy success
Neal has won three Munster Schools Senior soccer titles with his secondary school Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh, in Bishopstown, County Cork. He also received two Munster Youth Cup winners medals with Wilton for his part in a very successful team. Following this success, Horgan represented his college and his country at the World University Games. He signed for Cork City and competed with Alan Carey for the right fullback position.
Cork City F.C.
Following Carey's fall from Pat Dolan's favour, Horgan made the position his own and was on a distinguished course before an unfortunate fracture of the leg occurred in April 2004 during a Munster derby against rivals Waterford United, ruling him out of Cork City's successful UEFA Inter-Toto Cup campaign, with then under-21 level prospect (and future club captain) Cillian Lordan deputising well. Neal recovered ahead of schedule to reclaim his place as the season came to a close.
A vital and consistent part of Cork City's League of Ireland winning campaign in 2005, Horgan also found time to complete a Law degree in 2006. Because of his birth on American soil Neal is eligible to work without visa issues in the United States. During the following Winter off-season (January 2007) Neal investigated the possibility of combining his football and law expertise in the U.S., participating in a pre-season camp in Mexico with Colorado Rapids before choosing instead to return to Cork City for the start of the 2007 campaign.
Neal announced his retirement from professional football after the 2009 season, to further his studies in Law.
Cork City FORAS Co-OP
In June 2010, Neal signed for newly formed Cork Club, Cork City FORAS Co-op.
