Playing career
New Zealand
In 1990, while playing in Hong Kong for Lai Sun, Waitt visited his sister in Wellington.[5] Whilst in New Zealand he was contacted by his erstwhile manager Keith Buckley who was coaching Napier City Rovers. Buckley invited Waitt to play for the club and he did so, spending the 1990 season with the club, scoring 8 goals in 14 National Soccer League appearances.[6] He returned to the UK, joining Spalding United in December 1990, Nuneaton Borough in January 1991 and Grantham two months later. He moved on to join Gedling Town and then Ilkeston Town before emigrating permanently to New Zealand in January 1992.
He departed the New Zealand post following the expiry of his contract.[7]
