Teenager Sean Moore Joins Shelbourne from West Ham United

Sean Moore, the highly rated teenage winger, has joined League of Ireland champions Shelbourne from West Ham United.

The 19-year-old originally signed for the Premier League club from Irish Premiership side Cliftonville in June 2023 on a three-year contract. However, Moore has now returned to Ireland, signing a multi-year deal with Shelbourne.

“I’m absolutely buzzing to be here,” Moore said in an interview with the club’s official website.

“Shelbourne are a massive club and I’m delighted to get the deal done. I’m ready to get to work, hit the ground running, and show the fans what I’m all about.”

Moore, a Republic of Ireland youth international, is regarded as a player with significant promise and arrives with both domestic and Premier League-level experience.

Shelbourne manager Joey O’Brien, who took over from Damien Duff in June, praised Moore’s potential and character:

“He’s a top player with huge potential. He came into the game at a young age with Cliftonville and earned a great education over in England with West Ham,” said O’Brien.

“He’s an exciting player to watch – really positive in how he plays the game.

“Now he’s ready to kick on with the next stage of his career, and we’re delighted he’s put his trust in us.”
