Hot on the heels of last night's emphatic 4-1 win at Everton, Brighton today (Wednesday) announced the club's first signing of the January transfer window.

The Seagulls beat several other Premier League clubs to secure the signature of 18-year-old Irish midfielder Jamie Mullins from Bohemians, subject to international clearance.

The Republic of Ireland under-18 international has agreed a contract until June 2025 and will link up with the club’s under-21s.

In 2021, aged just 16, the wonderkid became Bohemian FC's youngest goalscorer in the League of Ireland when he slotted home against Longford Town

Mullins said:

“I can’t wait to get started. I played alongside Evan Ferguson at Bohemians and we know each other really well. 

“We spoke a lot about what Brighton has to offer young players and the pathway they have, so it made it a really easy decision to join.”

The 18-year-old departs Bohemians after making 32 first team appearances, including 17 in the League of Ireland in 2022.

The under-21s are back in Premier League 2 action this Sunday when they entertain Crystal Palace.
