Bohemians striker Ali Reghba boosted his chances of securing a contract with Premier League club Leicester City tonight after scoring two goals for their development side in a match with Swansea City.
Reghba, who made his Bohs senior debut this year after graduating from their Under-19 side, has been on trial with Leicester over the last number of weeks, as well as interesting other clubs.
He is out of contract with the Dublin outfit, but they would be entitled to compensation, along with former club Shelbourne.
Reghba is a Republic of Ireland Under-19 international and has been namechecked by Stephen Kenny as a likely future Under-21 cap.
He scored his first senior goal for Bohs against St Pat’s last season.
If you missed it, here's Ali Reghba's second of night! 😃#lcfcu23s
