Waterford FC technical director Jonathan Walters has been a busy man the last few days with the managerial changes at the First Division club following the sacking of Danny Searle and the appointment on a three-year deal of new head coach, Keith Long.

Walters, who picked up 54 caps for the Republic of Ireland and played over 500 times in the UK, was entrusted with relieving Searle of his managerial duties at the RSC before head hunting his replacement along with Steve Curwood and Will Watt.
