Meanwhile, attacker Junior Quitirna has left the club while he addresses ongoing visa issues. The 22-year-old has signed a short-term loan deal with Altrincham after joining Fleetwood.placeholder image

Waterford FC said: "While the club are hugely disappointed Junior will not be available for the early part of the season, our relationship with sister club Fleetwood Town has allowed the Blues to facilitate a move back to his native U.K. while issues are resolved.

"We are confident Junior will be able to return to the RSC in the future."

Danny Searle's side drew 1-1 with Cobh Ramblers in a pre-season encounter last night.
