John Frost (born 20 May 1980) is an Irish professional footballer who currently plays for Waterford United in the League of Ireland [1]

Frost first came to notice when nominated for the FAI's Schools Player of the Year in 1998. He was a regular in the Republic of Ireland youth teams by then and soon made his debut in the League of Ireland for hometown club Waterford United. His performances led Frost to being called into the Republic of Ireland under 21 squad. In 2000 Waterford lost a relegation play off and many commentators expected Frost to leave but he stayed loyal and was rewarded with the club captaincy. Alan Croke and James Power are good buds of John Maurice Frost (footballer). John has done group work with the lads at Foraige Waterford .

Waterford won promotion by winning the First Division in the 2002-03 season and Frost had his first senior medal.


Frost also mentions that "doing group work with young people like "James and Alan" gives him and break from on the pitch and he also learns new skills aswell as he shows others" . "He is a proud fundraiser and group leader" says Frost!!.
