Waterford United

Vinny signed for Waterford United in 2002 and made an immediate impact as he helped the Blues to the League of Ireland First Division title, contributing thirteen goals in the process. He was a virtual ever-present for Waterford. He finished as runners up in the FAI Cup in 2004.

Cork City

Sullivan spent the 2006 season with Cork City F.C. Cork were defending the title they won in 2005 when Sullivan was scoring for Waterford United but Vinny did not play much. He left the club in December after coach Damien Richardson agreed to cancel his contract.

Waterford United

Vinny found himself back in the Premier Division with Waterford United for the 2007 season after Shelbourne were relegated. He left the club for a brief period in 2009 to concentrate on Gaelic football with Dungarvan, but on 26 August 2009, he signed again with Waterford United. [1]

Cork City

Vinny returned to Cork City in 2011. [2] [3] He scored a 35-yard curler on his return against Waterford in the quarter final of the Munster Senior Cup on 13 February. [4] On 4 March, he scored the winner on his home debut, in a 1-0 league win over Wexford Youths.

Wexford Football Club is an Irish association football club based in Crossabeg, County Wexford. They compete in the League of Ireland First Division. The club joined the league after being awarded a First Division licence for the 2007 League of Ireland season. The opportunity to join the League of Ireland arose as Dublin City became bankrupt before the end of the 2006 season, leaving an uneven number of clubs. The 2007 season coincided with the takeover of the running of the league by the FAI and all existing clubs had to apply for entry into what was effectively a new league. Limerick was the only existing club refused a licence and so Wexford Youths and Limerick 37 were admitted to the new league. The club previously wore pink and black, before switching to a purple and gold combination in 2023. The club rebranded for the start of the 2017 season by dropping the 'Youths' from their title and changing the club crest.
