Waterford unveil loan signing of Sam Bone from Shamrock Rovers

Waterford FC have confirmed the signing of Shamrock Rovers midfielder Sam Bone on a loan deal until the end of the season.  

The 20-year-old joins the Blues having played with Charlton Athletic in England prior to his move to Shamrock Rovers.

The Malaysian born versatile player joined the Hoops in 2017 where his stint at Tallaght Stadium was ravaged by injury complaints.

Speaking to WaterfordFC.ie after joining forces with the Blues, Bone said; “I heard about interest from Alan [Reynolds] a while ago so it’s great to be here and sorted.

“Rennie explained about the facilities and how he sees me fit into the structure he wants the team to play so I’m delighted to come down.

“I’m thankful and grateful for the opportunity to come to Waterford. I’ve played in the RSC before and the facilities are excellent too so I’m looking forward to getting on the pitch.

“I’ve met all the players and they’re a great group so I can’t wait to get started.”

Manager Alan Reynolds added; “It’s great to get Sam on board. He came down to have a look around and has the right attitude and will work hard for the club.

“We’ll have a busy second half to the season and he’s a good lad who can play in midfielder or defence. He’s had a slight knock, but he’ll be good in a week or so and I’m delighted to get him into the squad.”
