16-year-old Republic of Ireland underage star Evan Ferguson has joined Brighton and Hove Albion.
The striker heads to the Amex from Dalymount Park after coming through the Bohs/St Kevin’s Boys academy.
He made headlines back in 2019 when he became the youngest player in Bohs’ first-team history to make his debut as a 14-year-old, against Derry City.
He recently won the SSE Airtricity U-17 League with Bohs-SKB and scored in the final against Shamrock Rovers just last month.
As Ferguson's mother is English the move is possible despite FIFA transfer rules in the wake of Brexit that state Irish players can only move to the UK from the age of 18.
