Waterford FC have announced the signing of 20-year-old Goalkeeper Stephen McMullan on loan from Fleetwood Town.

McMullan who only turned 20 on New Year's Eve, joins the Blues for the 2025 season.

The young shot stopper started his career with Warrenpoint Town where he attracted the interest of the Fishermen.

The Armagh man joined the English Football League side at the side of 17.

After a handful of appearances for Fleetwood, McMullan enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at Caernarfon Town in the Welsh Premier League in the second half of 2024.

He now joins the Blues, becoming their seventh signing of the off season.

Speaking to the club's media, the man between the sticks said:

"I'm buzzing to be here and I'm just raring to go now. Every club I play for my main aim is to play games and show people what I can do."

McMullan said the prospect of working with former Blues no.1 Brian Murphy was a big selling point:

"When I was speaking to him about coming over, he was a real selling point. His guidance, his experience speaks for itself. I'm really looking forward to getting to work with him," he said.

McMullan will wear the Number 1 for the 2025 season.
