Athlone Town attacker Thomas Oluwa becomes Waterford's first new signing ahead of the 2023 League of Ireland season.
The 21-year-old, who previously had spells with Galway United, Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers and NIFL outfit Larne, impressed during the 2022 First Division campaign - scoring 11 goals for Athlone.
Upon signing for the club, Oluwa told Waterford's website: "I’m delighted to be signing for such a great club. Everything here is set up brilliantly and the facilities are top class.
"I’ve seen first-hand what the players here are capable of and I know the buzz that the fans create both home and away.
"I’m excited to get the chance to play my football here and play my part in the push for promotion for the club."
Blues boss Danny Searle added: "We are delighted that Thomas has signed for the club. He showed some real quality last season and is a welcome addition to our side.
"He is at a good age and has a lot of potential, which we are really confident will enhance our attacking options next season.
"I have spoken with Thomas several times and his ambition to be successful is in line with the ambition of the club."
