Ballymena United defender Johnny Flynn is set to join Blackburn Rovers.
The 18-year-old spent two weeks on trial at Brockhall and put pen-to-paper on a three-and-a-half year deal last night after passing a medical.
Chairman John Williams said: "Johnny had a trial with us and did very well and we're delighted to have him on board.
"He shows a lot of promise and we think he's one for the future."
