Bohemian FC is delighted to confirm the signing of winger Connor Parsons on a multi-year deal.

The 24-year-old former Waterford player joins from Dagenham and Redbridge, subject to international clearance (ITC).

Parsons is the fifth new arrival of the closed season so far, following the permanent signings of Colm Whelan, Niall Morahan and John Mountney, and loan signing of Kian Best.

Manager Alan Reynolds said:

“Connor is a really talented winger with electric pace, who will bring great energy to our side and excite our supporters.

“He is a player I’ve wanted to bring to the club for some time. We tried to get him at the end of last season so I’m delighted that we’ve been able to get him now.

“He is someone I have worked with before at Waterford so I know the qualities he will bring. 

“He is a really quick and direct wide player. He knows the league well now, and he is going to be a brilliant addition to our squad.”

Parsons said:

“I am absolutely buzzing. Bohemians is a massive club. I know from the two years I’ve had here with Waterford how incredible the fans here and the backing they give the players here at Dalymount and on the road as well, so I can’t wait to get started.

“This move feels so right for me, and I’m delighted that everything worked out in the end and that I’ve been able to sign.

“I have a great relationship with Rennie from our time together at Waterford. He is someone who knows how to get the best out of me. One-v-ones is what I love best. Dribbling with the ball, getting the team up the pitch and playing with freedom. I like to be exciting and I hope the fans will see that. 

“I just can’t wait to get started now. I know everyone is really looking forward to the first game of the season. What a game to kick off the season with at the Aviva Stadium. 

“It will mean everything for that to be my first game in a Bohs shirt. It will be a massive occasion and we want to build momentum from the start, so I will be doing everything I can in training between now and then to ensure I am a part of it.”
