Waterford FC is delighted to announce that John Kavanagh has joined the club.

Midfielder John Martin, meanwhile, has joined Bray Wanderers on loan.

Defender Kavanagh joins for a second spell having spent the first half of the 2018 season at the club. The 24-year-old former Ringmahon Rangers, Cork City and Cobh Ramblers full back spent the first half of the season on loan with Finn Harps, but now joins the Blues for the rest of the season.

Kavanagh was a popular figure in his previous spell at the RSC and adds depth and competition to a Blues squad with six upcoming games in four weeks; four of which are away in the space of 11 days.

Speaking to WaterfordFC.ie after signing, John Kavanagh said:

“I’m delighted to get sorted. When a club like Waterford say they’re interested, you always want to be part of that. Obviously I’ve been here before and I thoroughly enjoyed my time so I’m looking to do the same again now and help the team as best as I can.

“I know a couple of faces from the last time so that’s obviously a help to get settled in and that’s a benefit.

“I want to get on the pitch and help the team as best I can. I think we can go on a run now going into the second half of the season. There’s no easy games but coming off a positive result in Sligo gives us all something to build on now with the games coming thick and fast.”
