He said: “I’m delighted for Tyrelle and everybody who’s worked with him at the club.

“He had an outstanding year playing for us last season.

“He generally plays out of age group a year up. He’s physically and technically able to do it, so it won’t be uncommon for him to be playing against older lads.

“I’m really pleased and it’s another feather in the cap for the club. I’ve only been here for two years, but a lot of people who have helped develop him over the last five or six years.

“It’s a reward for Tyrelle, for those members of staff and more plaudits for the club itself following on from JJ’s recent recognition and Tiernan Parker’s involvement with Northern Ireland U17s.”
