Phoenix Blayney made his senior debut for Larne FC on Wednesday, becoming one of the youngest players to feature for the club in a competitive fixture.
The 15-year-old stepped off the bench to take part in the match, a significant moment for a player who has been part of Larne’s youth setup. Blayney’s appearance at senior level reflects the confidence the club has in his ability and potential.
The milestone comes just days after Blayney confirmed a pre-contract agreement with Arsenal ahead of the 2027/28 season, with his senior debut for Larne providing valuable first-team experience ahead of that move.
