Boh’s rising star Evan Ferguson has become the latest prospect to move across the Irish Sea as he departs Dalymount Park for English Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.
The 16 year old son of former Bohemians player Barry Ferguson who won FAI & League Cups in the colours of Longford Town in 2003 & 2004 he will join the English south coast club as they find themselves in a relegation battle from the top division.
The youngster first came to public attention when he featured in a high profile friendly against Chelsea in July 2019 as a fourteen year old and he became Bohemian’s youngest ever player when he was introduced in a league game in September of that year against Derry City in the Brandywell.
Bohemians first-team manager Keith Long said: “Evan has progressed through the Bohs-SKB Academy system, playing in our LOI U15, U17 and U19 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.”
