In the coming weeks, 15-year-old Jayson Molumby from Cappoquin will cross the Irish Sea in his attempt to carve out a career as a professional soccer player.

A product of local club, Railway Athletic, Jayson is already an established schoolboy international and having caught the attention of several cross channel clubs, the Waterford youth opted for a 2 year professional contract, which includes a one year scholarship, with Championship side Brighton - or Brighton & Hove Albion to give them their full title.

Linking up with Premier League outfit West Brom was another possibility, however, in consultation with family, friends and Railway Athletic personnel it was felt that Brighton was a better fit.

A club with hopes of attaining Premier League status, Brighton have recently completed a £30 million academy, where Jayson will spend a considerable portion of time as he fine tunes his trade in the ultra competitive world of professional soccer.

Jayson was the special guest at the recent Schoolboys' Football Association of Ireland Kennedy Cup draw which took place in Lismore House Hotel. Sponsored by Umbro, this prestigious tournament attracts the top schoolboy clubs in Ireland.

WWEC representative, Liam Fraser from Tallow said Jayson possessed tremendous natural talent in addition to the temperament and work ethic require to succeed at elite level. He went on to wish the teenager the very best in the crucial years ahead - a sentiment echoed by Jayson's many friends in Cappoquin, west Waterford and beyond.

Encouraging to read that "our" Albion was considered "a better fit" than the Premier League variety.

A two year pro contract with one year as a scholarship, is that three years in total, and so he is here until he's 18?

Yes, three years in total, he will be 16 in August so the deal takes him up to almost his 19th birthday.

Sorry he scored a goal, he won't get in the first team doing things like that!

Seriously that looked quality, hope he progresses with us.

He knew he'd scored that as soon as he hit it which proves it was no fluke & he scores like that reasonably often. Looks class. Let's hope he makes the transition.

Tekkers.

Chelsea run soccer schools and often run one in Brighton at old Stanley Deason. When they spot a kid they offer him an invitation place at closest development Centre which I believe is Thurrock.
It's brilliant that the Albion now dominate the local area and can provide the school and invitational at Blatchington Mill in Hove and the Elite at Lancing. I often watch the Elite boys and some of those kids can play.

Believe it or not an under 10 turned up at lancing for trial in a Palace shirt!!

I once had a trial in 1985 for today's opponents in a Brighton shirt

I was on trial in Bournemouth as well, but wore a shirt and tie...

Hi Guys,

Jayson is a fantastic young fella who lives for the game, I did an interview with him over Christmas before he chose Albion. Sorry about the quality of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXaEXF62zNI

Very young but looks very promising and maybe more importantly sounds like he's got a head on his shoulders.

Where does he play and is he any good?

Refreshing as most players have their heads up their arses.

He plays at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre. And yes, he is any good.
