Republic of Ireland under-21 attacker Evan Ferguson has signed a new long-term contract with Brighton & Hove Albion which will see him stay at the English outfit until at least 2026.

The 18-year-old, who joined the Seagulls from Bohemians in 2021, became the club's youngest-ever Premier League player when he came on against Burnley earlier this year.

Brighton's first-team head coach Roberto De Zerbi said, "I am very happy to see Evan commit his future to Brighton. I have only worked with him for a few weeks but is clear to see his potential. I am really looking forward to working with him and helping him progress."

Ferguson scored his first senior goal for the club in a 3-0 Carabao Cup victory over Forest Green Rovers in August.
