New Waterford manager Jon Daly has reassured the club’s fans that he is planning for life with star striker Pádraig Amond at the Blues next season.

The 37-year-old was the Premier Divison’s top scorer last season with 14 goals, despite Waterford’s struggles which saw them narrowly avoid relegation to the First Division, defeating Bray Wanderers 2-1 in their playoff recently.
