Bohemians have announced further good news just days after completing back-to-back wins against arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers and runaway SSE Airtricity League Premier Division leaders Cork City.
 
Defender Warren O'Hora and midfield duo Fuad Sule and Oscar Brennan have signed new contracts to remain at the club the end of the 2018 season.
 
Manager Keith Long expressed his delight after getting the three players nailed down for next year.
 
"We are delighted to have secured them for next season. All three have done really well for us since breaking into the team.
 
"It's important we retain our best young players. They have an affinity to the club already and we want to grow this group together at Dalymount Park.
 
"Hopefully this is just the start now and we can get others to commit in the coming weeks."
 
18-year-old defender O'Hora, who turned down a scholarship in the United States, made his league debut off the bench against Sligo Rovers in June and has only missed one game since.
 
A concussion sustained in Monday's win against Cork City rules the Cabra teen out of tomorrow's visit of Bray Wanderers but Long is confident he has a bright future ahead.
 
"Warren is two years with the club now having captained both the Under-17s and Under-19s. He's taken the step up to first-team football in his stride and has looked very comfortable."
 
Sule (20), who joined from St Patrick's Athletic in the close season, got his first taste of first-team football in the EA Sports Cup against First Division Cabinteely last April and has not looked back since.
 
His impressive form in the Bohs engine room led to a nomination for the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers' Association of Ireland Player of the Month Award for July.
 
Brennan (21) was one of Long's final recruits in the close season having joined from Cabinteely and has steadily grown to become a fans' favourite in recent months.
 
"Fuad has deservedly gets a lot of plaudits for his performances and is another player with a big future ahead of him," added Long.
 
"Oscar probably doesn't get the praise he deserves. He's someone who gets so much of the unheralded dirty work done around midfield.
 
"He's been a great asset and you only have to ask his team-mates how much they value his contribution to the team."
