urban.spaceman Posted 5 July 2019 Author Posted 5 July 2019 ALI REGHBA JOINS LEICESTER CITY Bohemians can confirm that Ali Reghba has joined Premier League side Leicester City for an undisclosed fee subject to international clearance. The 19-year-old shot to prominence last season when he rewarded Keith Long’s faith in him by scoring twice in his league debut in a 3-1 Dublin derby win away against St Patrick’s Athletic. That first-team breakthrough came as no surprise to those working behind the scene at Bohs after the starring role Reghba has had for the club’s U19s. Reghba shone for Craig Sexton’s Bohs U19s last term where his season highlights included scoring both goals in the Enda McGuill Cup final victory away to St Pat’s, netting in the Uefa Youth League against FC Midtjylland and capping it all off with the winner in the SSE Airtricity U19 League final away to Shamrock Rovers. He impressed on trial for Leicester in winter before signing his first professional contract with Bohs. Reghba, like Bohs full-back Andy Lyons, is set to fly to Armenia next week to represent Ireland in the U19 European Championships. Tom Mohan’s side face Norway on July 15 before they take on France and Czech Republic. Manager Keith Long said: “Everyone at Bohemians wishes Ali the very best of luck in his move and in Armenia with the U19s. “He’s a successful graduate of our U19s and underage system and we wish him the very best for the future.”
lgfualol Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Perez, Hirst, Ali Reghba, Top 4 here we come Edit. On a serious note, I really hope we can bring a striker through from the academy. All our strikers there seem to be highly rated then disappear.
brucey Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Looked really good for our U23s, so happy this has finally happened, although I wonder if there are potential issues with his attitude with what happened towards the end of his time at Bohs.
MC Prussian Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Claims he's modeling his style of play after Zlatan. Height-wise, they are miles apart. Hope he lives up to certain expectations, but for now, he should start getting into gears at LCFC. Slow, but steady progress is what he needs. Welcome to the club!
Aus Fox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 The signings just keep coming at the minute! By all accounts a good addition to the squad.

I think he wanted out and Bohs were being awkward. The rumours of him going seemed to last for a year or so. Looked promising when I saw him.
Ric Flair Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 He's sadly not going to be out training with the first team this summer as he is off to join up with Ireland U19's for a tournament over the next few weeks.

So he had no reason to throw his toys out in April or whatever it was that he did.
TheLittleBigMan Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Good addition to the youth squad. Who knows why he threw his toys out, it's all rumours. He won't be getting away with it here that's for sure. Looks a strong player to me and glad he's signed. Up the titty.

st martin Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Ric Flair said Rogers could turn this guy into a world beater in 3 months. Well call it 6 months, but i agree 100% Ric, i really like this lad.
