Tony Browne has joined Ken McGrath's Waterford Under 20 hurling backroom team for 2025.
His appointment was confirmed at tonight's county board meeting in Dungarvan.
The 1998 Hurler of the Year replaces outgoing coach Dan Shanahan who will link up with Peter Queally's Déise senior set-up next year.
Browne worked with the Tipperary seniors for the past two seasons under Liam Cahill as coaching support. Cahill brought him on board with Waterford in 2022.
Former Déise hurlers Andy Moloney and Kevin Moran are also part of McGrath's management team.
Waterford lost all four Munster Under 20 games in 2024.
James O'Connor has received a one-year extension as minor hurling boss. His set-up includes former Déise attackers Paul Flynn and Tommy Ryan as well as Seamus Hannon (Ballyduff Upper) and Nicholas Mackey (Mount Sion).
Paul Power from Rathgormack is the new Waterford Under 20 football manager. He helped the minors to championship wins over Limerick and Offaly in 2024. Power has received a three-year term. David Whelan (Sliabh gCua), Ollie Costelloe (Stradbally), John Crotty (Rathgormack) and Kieran Hallahan (Sliabh gCua) will accompany him on the sideline.
De La Salle's Eddie Mulligan was ratified as minor football boss. He will be assisted by Justin Walsh (The Nire), Derek Wyse (St Saviours), Glen Moloney (Ardmore), Paul Murphy (Gaultier) and Paudie Halpin (The Nire).
