Waterford FC have signed former Charlton Athletic under-23 striker, Wassim Aouachria.

The 22-year-old has represented Algeria at underage level and played for Olympic Marseille's Academy.

He has also played on loan for a number of clubs, including Aldershot and Braintree in the English National League.

Aouachria has told Waterford FC's website that he's "pleased and excited to sign."

"The first few days with the team have been really good integrating with the boys and they've been brilliant," he said, "I know a couple of the players; Junior [Quitirna] and Yassine [En-Neyah], and both have helped me a lot since I've been here.

"It's a very talented group of players who want to work hard and improve and we'll be really pushing to go up at the end of the season; I'm delighted to join and hopefully add something to the team."

The centre forward will wear the #9 jersey and his signing comes as the Blues look to bounce back from last Friday's loss to Galway United - a defeat which brought an end to a winning streak of eight games in a row.

They take on Wexford in the RSC tomorrow evening from 7.45pm.
