Derry City snap up Walter Figueira from Waterford

Derry City have snapped up striker Walter Figueira from Waterford.

The Englishman has moved to the Brandywell on a one-year deal and Candystripes boss Declan Devine said: “Walter is a quality player.

“Derry fans who saw him play for Waterford against us in the Brandywell will know exactly the type of player we’ve brought here.

“He wants to play every minute of every match and that’s what we need at this club.”

“He had a host of offers from clubs in Ireland and Scotland so we are delighted to have secured him.”

And Devine added: “Walter won’t be the last player coming in and the hard work continues to strengthen the squad.”

Figueira is a former Chelsea youth who also had spells in Greece and Portugal.
