Waterford United have today confirmed that captain Kevin Murray has signed a deal to keep him at the club until the end of the 2011 season.
The centre half have been a superb acquisition since arriving in 2009 after the arrival of manager Stephen Henderson, and amazingly played every single minute of the 2009 season.
Murray is the fourth Blues player to sign on for next season, along with keeper Kevin Burns, defender Michael Coady and striker Paul Murphy.
A Stetement read:“Waterford United are delighted to announce that they have today secured the services of inspirational skipper and centre half Kevin Murray for the 2011 season.
The Cork native joined the Blues from Cobh Ramblers in January of 2009, and was an ever present in his first season, playing every single minute of every United match.
At the start of this year the 26-year-old took over the captaincy from the departed Michael Devine and has revelled in the role, leading by inspiring example time and again over the course of the season so far.
The signing is a massive boost for the Blues ahead of the championship run-in, and for their future plans. Kevin joins the young trio of goalkeeper Kevin Burns, full back Michael Coady and forward Paul Murphy in committing their services for 2011, and over the coming weeks it is expected that many more of this year's squad will be added to the panel for next season.”
