Irish Player Preview – Mark O’Mahony
Signed in Jan 2023 from Cork City in the League of Ireland after a successful trial period at the Albion.
Mark has established himself as a regular member of the Irish U19 side as well as representing Ireland at U17 and U18 previously. He currently has over 20 caps and 10 Goals at International Level.
Mark is currently playing for Albion’s Academy side in the PL2 and EFL Throphy in which we recently progressed into the last 32. A very impressive season to date with 9 goals and 2 assists in all competitions.
This has caught the eye of the 1st team coaching staff and RDZ so much that Mark was in the matchday squad v Sheffield United in the Premier League.
Mark is an athletic striker with a real instinct for scoring goals, which his fellow Irishman Evan Ferguson commented on in recent interviews.
He has settled in well at Brighton and seems to be enjoying life both off and on the field, I am sure that this is helped by being part of a 10 strong Irish contingent of players at Brighton.
Mark is most definitely a star of the very near future which could see an attacking force of Evan Ferguson, Andrew Moran and Mark in our starting 11, great news for both club and country.
