Former Leicester City trialist Ali Reghba has left Bohemians and is now expected to sign for Brendan Rodgers' side.

The 19-year-old, who can play as a striker or winger, confirmed on Thursday that he would be departing the Bohs, who he signed a short-term deal with in February.

Reghba spent time with Steve Beaglehole's development squad in January, netting twice and winning in a penalty for the Foxes' Under-23s in a 3-0 win against Swansea City, and featuring in a 1-0 defeat of Everton.

It was reported in February that City would sign him up this summer, and Reghba is readying for a move to the Foxes - who have reportedly beaten Middlesbrough, Brentford and Leeds United to his signature.

Reghba released a parting message to Bohemians on Instagram, which read: "Thank you to @bfcdublin for everything over the past two seasons.

"Some big, big memories that will stay with me forever and very thankful for all the coaches and staff that have helped me on my journey to where I am now made some friends for life on the way too."

Reghba had made 10 appearances for Keith Long's side so far this season, failing to net, but caught the eye last year when he scored a brace on his debut.

He featured predominantly for the Bohs' Under-19s side, who won a League and Cup double with the help of Reghba.

Born in Germany to an Algerian father and Irish mother before moving to the Republic of Ireland at the age of six, the Ireland Under-19 international has been called up to a training camp this week.
