Meanwhile, Republic U19 defender Cathal Heffernan has moved from AC Milan to Newcastle United.
"It's surreal to join such a big club like Newcastle," Heffernan told the club website.
"It's definitely a club that is on the rise and with a lot of history. During the last week, I've been so excited to get started and I'm now looking forward to a big season ahead.
"The goal, when playing Academy football, is to try and break into a first-team as quick as you can and, hopefully, I can do that at Newcastle United."
