Portsmouth have signed teenage Brighton and Hove Albion striker Mark O鈥橫ahony on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old, who scored in the Seagulls' 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Crawley Town on Tuesday, moved to Brighton from Cork City in January 2023.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international played three times in the Premier League last season, starting in Brighton's 3-0 loss at AFC Bournemouth on 28 April.

鈥淗e鈥檚 a striker who can hold the ball up well and link play, while also getting in the box to score goals," Portsmouth boss John Mousinho told the club website.

鈥淢ark is a real physical presence and he has a lot of the attributes we want to see from a centre-forward, so I鈥檓 looking forward to working with him."
