Bohs youngster Evan Ferguson has secured a massive transfer move to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
The striker, who came through St Kevin’s and the Bohs-SKB Academy, became the youngest player to represent the Gypsies' first team when he made his debut away to Derry City in September 2019.
The 16-year-old son of former Bohs defender Barry Ferguson has represented the Dublin club's Under-19s in the Uefa Youth League and has played for Ireland at underage level up to U17, Dublin live reports.
Bohemians first-team manager Keith Long said: “Evan has progressed through the Bohs-SKB Academy system, playing in our LOI Under-15, Under-17 and Under-19 teams, and he also became the youngest player to ever play for the Bohemians first team.
“Under the guidance of Karl Lambe, Rob Doran and Alan Caffrey at St Kevin’s, and later with Ger Browne, Jimmy Mowlds and Derek Pender at Bohs-SKB, Evan has developed into one of the country’s brightest prospects.
“Everyone at Bohemians and St Kevin’s wishes Evan the very best of luck with Brighton and we hope to see him representing Ireland at senior international level in the future.”
Ferguson most recently won the SSE Airtricity Under-17 League with Bohs-SKB, scoring in the final against Shamrock Rovers last month.
