Premier Division newcomers Waterford are plotting a double swoop for Tommy Lonergan and Jad Hakiki.

The Blues clinched promotion by beating Cork City in a playoff but lost two key components of their attack to English League One when Fleetwood Town and Shrewsbury Town swooped for Ronan Coughlan and Roland Idowu respectively. The latter banked the Munster club a six-figure sum in FIFA compensation.
