Bristol City have announced a pre-contract agreement with teenager Alex Scott.
The Guernsey 16-year-old is too young to sign a contract but will join the Robins following a successful trial with the club's under-18s.
Midfielder Scott became Guernsey's youngest ever player when he made his senior debut in August.
City academy boss Gary Probert met Scott's family with loans manager Brian Tinnion in Guernsey this week to agree the deal, and Probert says his personality proves he is the right fit for the Robins.
He said: "During the period of us watching Alex and him training and playing with us he has demonstrated some excellent attributes and potential to further develop in the years ahead.
"Most importantly, he has the personality and mindset to fit in at Bristol City to continue to work hard and continue his development.
"Credit must go to Alex’s parents for being open to and contributing to the development plan we have for their son and to Tony Vance of Guernsey FC for his help in supporting Alex in this important decision which will not only benefit Alex but further our links with football in Guernsey."
Guernsey manager Tony Vance revealed he had tipped the Robins off to Scott's potential through videos.
He said: "I’ve been sending video clips of Alex to Bristol City and he had a successful trial including playing in an Under-18 game where he scored three goals.
"I’m delighted for him. This is where he needs and deserves to be.
"It’s all about GFC providing the platform to bigger and better things and, of course, St Martin’s has been part of his development, so credit goes to them."
