The former Bohemians youngster was nominated for the Golden Boy Award in 2023 - making the 20 finalists for the prestigious accolade.

Upon signing the new contract at his club, Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi said, "Evan deserves this new contract and he has a very big future ahead of him."

Technical director David Weir added, "Evan is a brilliant young talent and we are delighted for him. 

"He's shown his ability at club and international level, after breaking into the team at the start of the year, and we are looking forward to working with him and watching his continued progress."
