Waterford FC announce signing of Grant Horton

Waterford FC has announced the signing of defender Grant Horton from EFL League One side Cheltenham Town ahead of the start of the 2024 League of Ireland season.

The centre-back joins the Blues from the Robins, where he began his career in 2018.

Horton made appearances for Cheltenham in both League Two & League One, before going on loan in the National League.

Most recently, the 22-year-old spent the first half of both 2022 & 2023 on loan at Dalymount Park with Bohemians, where he became a mainstay in the Bohs defence during both spells with the side, making over 30 appearances during his time there. Grant will wear the number 5 shirt for the upcoming League of Ireland Premier Division season with the Blues.
