Sam Bone departs Waterford with 'incredibly sour taste'

Waterford defender Sam Bone has said that he has left the club ‘with an incredibly sour taste in his mouth’.

Bone – who joined the Blues initially on loan from Shamrock Rovers in 2019 – confirmed that he has departed the RSC on social media this evening.

While at Waterford, Bone played a total of 17 times, with his last appearance coming during the 2-2 draw against Dundalk in August.

“While I have to stay professional, I am leaving the club with an incredibly sour taste in my mouth,” Bone wrote on social media this evening.

“I am extremely sad to be leaving. It was no secret how much I loved playing for this club. But sometimes you have to leave your emotions aside and do what’s nest for you.

“A part of me wants to say a lot but I’ll keep it short. I feel incredibly let down by the club and the last week or so has been extremely stressful.”

The 22-year-old added: “It was an absolute pleasure to play for Waterford. It’s the happiest I have been during my career and in an ideal world we would have kept the squad and built on it for next year.

“4 weeks since the end of the season there isn’t even a manager or any players.”

He finished: “Although disappointed and sad to be leaving this club, I am extremely excited for my next move and to see what the future holds on a personal stand point.

“Thank you again for all your support. I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated all the messages.”
