Kevin Sheedy and Mike Newell leave Waterford FC

Former Waterford manager Kevin Sheedy 

Exiled goalkeeper Brian Murphy will return to the Waterford squad with immediate effect after Kevin Sheedy’s first foray into management met a premature end.

The Blues sit bottom of the Premier Division heading after nine games into Saturday’s visit of Drogheda United and Lee Power has decided to act now, sacking his first manager since taking ownership of the club in 2017.
