Leicester City have signed Wexford FC defender Darragh O’Connor.
The 20-year-old only joined the League of Ireland side in January and made 20 appearances in the First Division.
O’Connor impressed on trial with the Foxes last month and has joined their Under-23 squad.
The youngster told Wexford FC's website: "Full credit goes to Brian O'Sullivan and Assistant Manager David Breen for signing me as a young nineteen year old at the start of the season, the training sessions here have been top notch.
"Thanks to the boys on the pitch too, training week in week out, pushing each other.
"And to the club itself, we're probably one of the only few teams in the country that have it's own training facilities and clubhouse, it's a massive plus for us to have here and fantastic for a county like Wexford.
"It's been really good here and I'll always credit Wexford FC for it."
Wexford boss Brian O'Sullivan said: “I wish him well. He was a player who got better every week.
“His commitment and behaviour was always first class and it's a great opportunity for him.”
