Waterford FC is delighted to confirm the signing of midfielder Shane Duggan.
Duggan spent the last number of seasons with Limerick where he captained the side and won promotion to the Premier Division; also scoring a stunning winner when the sides met in the Markets Field last season.
The experienced 29-year-old previously played for Cork City and UCD after a spell cross channel with Plymouth Argyle.
Speaking to WaterfordFC.ie after signing, Duggan said: “I’m delighted to get the deal done. I’ve been talking to Alan (Reynolds) for a while now and it’s great to get sorted.
“It’s a massive club and a challenge I’m really looking forward to. I obviously played against Waterford last year and it’s great to be part of that now to hopefully help the club build on last season.
“I saw the quality there last season, I played with Bastien when he was at Limerick, and the team really took the league by storm with the football and the formation.
“Of course there’ll always be changes in the team from year to year so I need to hit the ground running in the pre-season and I can’t wait to get started.”
