Waterford have recruited Stephen McMullan from Fleetwood Town – but could add another goalkeeper in former Cork City stopper Brad Wade.

City’s charge to last year’s First Division crown was helped by Wade’s sturdiness between the sticks, recognised by his peers in being voted onto the PFAI Team of the Year having kept 21 clean sheets last term.
