Cork City FC wish to confirm that John Kavanagh has joined Waterford FC on loan until the summer transfer window.
Kavanagh, who recently put pen to paper on a new contract with the club, joins Waterford to get more game time, as he continues his recovery from injury.
City boss John Caulfield said: “This is a good move for Kav. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Cobh Ramblers and got some much-needed game time under his belt. This is an opportunity for him to continue the progress he made last year, with more playing time and, this time, it is at Premier Division level.”
“He had a very serious operation and has done extremely well to come back from it. This loan move is the latest step for him. He has shown a lot of toughness and resolve to work his way back to fitness, and it is now all about playing games for him.”
“He is a player we have a lot of time for and we see a bright future for him. There were a number of clubs who would have liked to take him on a permanent basis, but we wanted to keep him here and loan him out to get games, with a view to him coming back here and challenging for a place in the team.
