AllStar Fergal Hartley has committed to another year of inter-county action with Waterford, a great boost to the Deise.
Following a decade of action he had considered hanging up his hurl after the county's dramatic success in Munster last year but has now ruled that out.
He said: "I contemplated calling it a day for practical reasons but it was always going to be hard not to come back after winning the provincial championship last year."
