Waterford are set to sign former Charlton Athletic striker Wassim Aouachria in the wake of Louis Britton’s defection to First Division rivals Cork City.

There was surprise in the south-east when Britton, whose goal tally reached double-figures on his swansong against Athlone on Monday, chose to join their Munster neighbours within 48 hours of departing.
