Newly-promoted Birmingham City have captured Republic of Ireland Under-21 winger James O'Shea on a two-year contract from Galway United for an undisclosed fee the club said Monday.
The 20-year-old can play either in midfield or up front and Birmingham manager Alex McLeish told bcfc.com: "James is a quick young winger with good feet. We had him over to take a look at him last season but it was at a stage where we'd already taken on players on loan and we couldn't do a deal.
"He came back on the radar quite recently and he's a good young prospect we hope can be a future star.
"James is not for going into the team right now. We felt he was worth a wee shout because he didn't cost the earth but is hopefully one we can turn into a top player."
