Premier Division Waterford have confirmed that striker Padraig Amond has put pen to paper on a ‘multi-year’ deal with the club.

The former Shamrock Rovers and Sligo Rovers hitman, who previously played for Portuguese outfit Pacos de Ferreira, joined the Blues earlier this year from English non-league side Woking.

And Amond has been a revelation for Keith Long’s troops this term, scoring 11 goals in his return to the League of Ireland Premier Division - and 13 in all competitions.

“I’m really pleased to have signed a new deal at Waterford FC. To be involved with such a talented group of young players that we have at the club at the moment is brilliant and everyone is striving to do the best that they can do for the club,” he told his club’s website.

“Working under the manager and his staff every day is great and I am delighted to continue with it. Since I have come back both my family and I have been welcomed so much by the club and I am really proud to represent the club.

“We have a huge couple of months ahead of us as we try to bring European football for the supporters and people of Waterford, and we will do everything in our power to try and make that happen.”
