Bohemians have announced the signing of midfielder Roland Idowu from Cardiff City, subject to international clearance.
A creative attacking midfielder, who can also play on the wing, Idowu played youth football with St Kevin's Boys and St Joseph’s before joining Southampton’s Academy. The 19-year-old has represented Ireland at U16, U17 and U18 level.
Welcoming Roland to Dalymount Park, manager Keith Long said: "I am delighted to capture the signature of Roland. "He is a talented player with a good pedigree and will be a very good addition to our squad.
"We are very much looking forward to working with Roland, and are excited about the potential he can bring to the team.
"At 19 years of age, he is a very level-headed young lad, who is very keen to play for the club and showcase his talents."
James Talbot has been called up by Ireland manager Stephen Kenny for next week's World Cup qualifiers against Portugal, Azerbaijan and Serbia.
He is the fifth Bohemians first-team player on international duty this week.
Andy Lyons, Ross Tierney and Dawson Devoy joined up with the Ireland U21s last night ahead of their European qualifiers against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Luxembourg, alongside their former club-mate Evan Ferguson who joined Brighton at the start of the year.
