Jonathan Walters departs role at Waterford FC

Former Republic of Ireland striker Jonathan Walters has departed his role at Waterford FC after just five months.

Walters was appointed as Technical Director at the Blues in December, but announced his departure in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

Walters had a dual-role between Waterford FC and English League One side Fleetwood Town, who are both owned by Andy Pilley.

"As we come to the end of the EFL season, I feel the time is right to step down from my role as Technical Director of Fleetwood Town and Waterford FC," said Walters.

"Together, with the support of many great people, we have strengthened the Fleetwood Town squad, comfortably secured League One status and made history by taking the club to the 5th round of the FA Cup. With Waterford, I was delighted to help implement some new structures and bring in two fantastic people in Keith Long and Alan Reynolds, whom I have no doubt will bring success back to the club."

"I would like to thank the owner Andy Pilley for the opportunity to take on this unique role at both clubs. The experiences gained will undoubtedly help me to continue to develop and progress into my next role. I wish both clubs and their fantastic supporters ever success for the future."

Waterford FC have lost their last two games to Wexford FC and Galway United, and currently sit second in the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland First Division table.
