Waterford FC is delighted to announce the signing of Connor Parsons from Wycombe Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.
Parsons, who has signed a two-year deal, developed in the Norwich City academy from 2017. He spent the last 18 months at Wycombe Wanderers, with loan deals for first team football.
At 22, the exciting left winger spent the first half of the 2022/23 season on loan with Solihull Moors making 10 appearances for the National League side.
Speaking to WaterfordFC.ie, Parsons said:
“I am delighted to have got the deal over the line and to have signed with Waterford FC. It is a fresh start for me and I am really excited to be here. I have spoken with Danny on a number of occasions and it seems to be a really exciting time for the club and I am happy to be a part of that.
“Our goal will be to win the league and get the club promoted. I have done some research and I know that Waterford should be playing at the highest level here. The club has done really well to retain the core of last season’s squad, so the mentality from last year coupled with some new players will be exciting.
“I can’t wait to get started. I think the fans will find me to be an exciting player. I like to move the ball with speed and take risks. As footballers we are there to entertain and that is what I want to do. I want to get the fans up on their feet.”
Speaking after confirming the signing, Waterford FC Head Coach Danny Searle said:
“Securing the signing of someone like Connor is a major statement for the club. He brings real quality.
“We’ve been renowned for the amount of goals we’ve been scoring over the past year or so and it’s something I think we’re going to need next season to ensure we give ourselves the best chance to win the league.
“Connor will certainly bring quality, goals and assists and we’re all delighted to have him on board and looking to see what he brings to the pitch once the season starts.”
