Austin Gleeson has confirmed his intention to return to the Waterford colours again after sitting out the 2024 campaign.

That’s being honest with you. I actually didn’t think it would have as much of an effect on me as it did.

“I absolutely loved doing that. It’s just, I needed a break for myself. The body was starting to take a toll on me and mentally, I probably wasn’t there either. It wouldn’t have been fair to management and the other players and myself if I went back last year.” As of now, there is no confirmation as to whether Fitzgerald will remain in charge of Waterford in 2025 though, having shipped criticism during the League, Gleeson feels the Clare man has a mandate to continue in the role after the team performed well in the Championship, despite narrowly failing to qualify from the Munster group.
