Glentoran teenager Terry Devlin has completed his move to Portsmouth.
The Northern Ireland youth international was on the radar of several clubs this summer but has signed a three-year deal with the EFL League One side, with the club option of a further 12 months.
Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Stoke City and Oxford United were just some of the clubs monitoring the progress of the 19-year-old at the Oval last season.

Devlin scored six goals in 45 appearances across all competitions in 2022/23, helping the Glens finish third in the Premiership and secure European football through the play-offs.
It was a stellar debut season in East Belfast for the talented teen, who was signed by former manager Mick McDermott from Dungannon Swifts last summer.
Portsmouth boss John Mousinho told the club's website: “Terry was one of the outstanding players in the Northern Irish league last season.
“He’s an attacking midfielder who adds qualities to our group that we perhaps don’t already have here.
“Terry can run, he can compete and he can score goals and I’m excited to bring such a talented prospect over to England.
“We do feel that he has a very promising future in the game, but we also believe that he can make an impact for us during the forthcoming season.”
Meanwhile, Glentoran said on their website: "Glentoran Football Club confirms that Terry Devlin has joined Portsmouth FC.
"Everyone at the club warmly thanks Terry for his outstanding contribution to Glentoran in the 2022-23 season since joining us in August 2022. Particularly his performances post-split and in our successful Europa League Play Off campaign.
"Best wishes to Terry for a very successful career at both club and international level. He will be sadly missed by the Glentoran Family."
