Waterford have confirmed that goalkeeper Stephen O'Keeffe will not be available for the 2021 season.
The 2017 All-Star, who started in goals for their All-Ireland defeat to Limerick earlier this month, has informed Déise manager Liam Cahill of his decision to take a break.
"Stephen O'Keeffe has informed the Waterford management team he is taking some time out and will be unavailable for the 2021 season," a statement read.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen who has given fantastic service to Waterford Hurling over the last 10 years."
