Stephen O’Keeffe has stopped short of ruling out a Waterford return, almost two years after he last lined out for the county.
The 2017 All Star goalkeeper told then Deise boss Liam Cahill of his intention to sit out the 2021 season following Waterford’s run to the 2020 All-Ireland final but last year he effectively confirmed his retirement, insisting that “that chapter is finished for myself now”.
He was notably less emphatic when speaking after his club Ballygunner swept past Kilruane MacDonaghs in the Munster quarter-final on Sunday, however, albeit he gave no firm indication that a return was on the cards either.
