Evan Ferguson was born on 19 October 2004 (age 21) and is a Republic of Ireland striker with Brighton & Hove Albion. His career to this point is overwhelmingly a Brighton one, rather than a story spread thinly across several clubs.
He has made 60 league appearances for Brighton across five seasons, scoring 13 league goals. His best return came in 2022-2023, when he scored six times in 19 league appearances, a decent haul for a young centre-forward being asked to grow up in a demanding league.
The current season has been a quieter one at club level. In 2025-2026 he has yet to make a league appearance for Brighton, although he has remained involved internationally, scoring three goals in four European World Cup qualifiers for the Republic of Ireland.
He was linked with a move to Celtic at points between December 2024 and December 2025 while still at Brighton. His market value is around ยฃ21.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about the level of player being discussed.
Ferguson remains a developing striker whose senior career has been shaped mainly by Brighton: early promise, one notably productive league season, and a more uncertain recent spell at club level, offset by useful form for Ireland.
