Kearney joins Waterford

WATERFORD UNITED yesterday completed the signing of Liam Kearney from Derry City.

The former Cork City winger, who turned 27 this week, arrives on Suirside on a one-year deal, with manager Stephen Henderson bidding to secure promotion from the League of Ireland First Division.

Kearney has two league medals, with City and Shelbourne, while he also went on to win the FAI Cup and Setanta Cup, both while on Leeside. A broken leg hampered his season in 2009.
