Pádraig Amond is bolstering Waterford’s strikeforce for their Premier Division return by coming back to the league he departed in 2010.

The Carlow native initially moved from Sligo Rovers to Portuguese side Paços de Ferreira but it was in the English lower leagues, where he lined out for Accrington Stanley, Morecambe, Grimsby Town, Hartlepool United, Newport County and Exeter City, that he excelled.
