Former Waterford captain and ex-Kerry keeper join Shane Ronayne's Déise backroom team

Ed Burke of Moyle Rovers in Tipperary will coach the team

Paul Whyte and Tomás Mac an tSaoir

New Waterford football boss Shane Ronayne has brought in former Déise captain Paul Whyte as selector and former Kerry shot-stopper Tomás Mac an tSaoir as goalkeeping coach for the 2021 season.

Whyte was forced to retire from the inter-county game in 2018, at the age of 26, due to chronic hip problems. The Kilrossanty attacker delivered 2-47 in fourteen Championship appearances for the white and blue. In the 2013 All-Ireland qualifiers, he kicked eight points against Galway at Pearse Stadium as Niall Carew's side lost by a point (1-12 to 0-14).
