Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signings of young midfielders Ethan Hull and Bobby Jack McAleese.
The duo have joined from Manchester United and Coleraine respectively.
Winger Hull puts pen to paper after being released by United last summer, while Northern Ireland under-17 international McAleese follows the likes of Aaron Donnelly, Dale Taylor and Jamie McDonnell in joining Forest from Northern Ireland.
"We’re always on the lookout to add quality players to an already very strong group and we see both players as exciting projects for the future," under-18s boss Warren Joyce told the club website.
"Both players are talented lads and Bobby will be hoping to emulate a couple of the other players that have come over from Northern Ireland over the past couple of years including Aaron Donnelly, Dale Taylor and Jamie McDonnell.
"He’s got a good brain and a good personality which is important along with his natural talent.
"Ethan was previously with Manchester United and he’s had a good upbringing there. He’s looking forward to coming in to work with the group and progress from there.
"It can difficult for the lads to come in midway through the season whilst the team are flying but we look forward to working with them."
