Waterford FC has secured the signature of Rory Feely from St. Patrick's Athletic.
A native of Tramore, he celebrates his 21st birthday today.
His family moved to Kildare where he went onto play with Athy Town.
Rory is a younger brother of former Bohemians defender Kevin who now plays gaelic football with Kildare.
He said he grew up with the Blues as his local league of Ireland club and is looking forward to working with Alan Reynolds and competing for a starting place.
Rory is the sixteenth member of the Waterford FC first team squad confirmed ahead of the new season and will link up with his new teammates this week as the Blues commence their pre season training programme.
