Republic of Ireland attacker Evan Ferguson has extended his contract until 2029 at Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 19-year-old has scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Seagulls in the league this season, including a superb hat-trick against Newcastle United at the Amex in September.

Ferguson, who has been capped eight times for Stephen Kenny's side to date, found the net on three occasions for the Boys in Green since his senior international debut against Norway this time last year.

The former Bohemians youngster was nominated for the Golden Boy Award in 2023 - making the 20 finalists for the prestigious accolade.

Upon signing the new contract at his club, Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi said, "Evan deserves this new contract and he has a very big future ahead of him."

Technical director David Weir added, "Evan is a brilliant young talent and we are delighted for him. 

"He's shown his ability at club and international level, after breaking into the team at the start of the year, and we are looking forward to working with him and watching his continued progress."
