Rhys Walsh signs for Sunderland
Sunderland AFC is delighted to welcome Rhys Walsh to the Club, subject to international clearance.
The 17-year-old winger arrives at the Academy of Light from NIFL Premiership side Glentoran for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Walsh already has senior experience under his belt, having made his first-team debut for the Glens in a 3-0 victory over Cliftonville in July 2023.
He has made six appearances during the current campaign, including three in the NIFL Premiership and one in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying round.
Academy Manager Robin Nicholls said: “Rhys is a player we have coveted for some time and he spent a period with us on trial earlier in 2023. He is an exciting forward, who can operate on either wing or play centrally, and he will join our Under-18 set-up for the remainder of the season. We are delighted to welcome him to Sunderland and after gaining senior experience this season with Glentoran, we hope that he will be able to settle quickly and hit the ground running.”
