Doherty on His Way - Ipswich Town News
Waterford United have wished 18-year-old winger Jack Doherty well for his future after he left Ireland to travel to Suffolk to finalise his move to the Blues. On Friday, TWTD reported that Doherty, who trained with the Town squad in Ireland earlier this month, would be on his way to Town to complete his switch over the weekend.
The Airtricity Division One club said via their official Twitter: "Best of Luck to [Jack Doherty] as he starts a new chapter in his football career.”
Doherty himself tweeted that he has said his farewells: "My God, I hate saying goodbyes, hardest thing I’ve ever done, at least I know I have everyone behind me.”
The Blues are understood to be paying Waterford an initial fee of around £50,000 with further payments due when the Clonmel-born player hits appearance milestones.
