LAST UPDATE | 2 Jul 2025

BOHEMIAN FC HAVE confirmed that Lys Mousset has left the club after six months.

In a social media post on X, the club stated ‘Bohemian FC can today confirm the departure of Lys Mousset by mutual consent. We thank Lys for his efforts at the club over the past six months and wish him all the very best for the future.’

After spending 13 months without a club, the former Sheffield United and Bournemouth striker was a surprise arrival at Dalymount Park and made his debut in the 1-0 league opening win over Shamrock Rovers in the Aviva Stadium.

His only league goal arrived in the away win over Sligo Rovers on 10 May, when he came off the bench to grab the only goal of the game, in what proved to be his final appearance.

Meanwhile, Dayle Rooney has signed a contract extension until the end of the 2027 season.

The 27-year-old winger joined Bohs ahead of the 2024 season, and has been a key player since: Rooney featured in all 22 league games this season, and has scored four goals in his last seven games.

“I’m over the moon to re-sign,” said Rooney. “We are a close group, we’re driving each other on and we feel we are building towards something special. We’ve given ourselves a good platform but we all want to kick on now and build on that.

“We’ve had some special nights this year and we want more of them. The way the fans have got right behind us over the past few months has been really special and there’s nowhere else I’d want to be than playing with Bohs in Dalyer.”

Manager Alan Reynolds added: “You can see in Dayle’s face how much he loves it here and how much he loves playing in Dalymount Park. He never stops working hard to improve his game either, and we feel that he is getting better and better every week.

“He has a real hunger to win trophies with Bohs, so we are delighted that has committed to the club. He has bought into everything we are working towards, can see what we’re trying to build and we feel that he is going to be a big part of that.”

Elsewhere, Derry City have announced the signing of Alex Bannon on a year-long loan from Burton Albion.

The 21-year-old defender played over 50 games for Queens Park before joining Burton last June, and has spent the last couple of months on loan at Airdrieonians.

Derry manager Tiernan Lynch said: “He’s a young lad with plenty of senior experience under his belt. He can play in a number of different positions and someone we are looking forward to getting in and working with. He can play right side centre half, right wing back, right back or even as a six.

“He’s a very versatile lad and the big attraction to us is the number of senior games. He is someone that we definitely feel that can come in and make an impact. No one should be safe and everyone should know that when they come in on the Monday morning they have a fight on their hands.”
