Bohemians seal deal to snap up Estonian international Sten Reinkort
Beaten FAI Cup finalists Bohemians have sealed the signing of Estonian international Sten Reinkort.
The 25-year-old has signed a multi-year deal with the Dublin 7 outift from Estonian top-flight side Flora Talinn.
Reinkort has five senior appearances at international level to his name - and his most recent came in a Euro qualifier loss to Belgium.
The striker from Eastern Europe is Declan Devine's third signing for Bohs ahead of the 2024 season.
“Sten ticks all the boxes for us," Bohs boss Devine said. "He is a full international for Estonia and has played in a lot of high profile games.
"I have watched his Champions League performances for Flora Tallin and he is a huge presence.
"He is a huge lad with great mobility. He holds the ball up well and in 2022 was voted the best striker in the Estonian Premier Division. He has a really good pedigree, and room to grow and improve.
“We are looking forward to working with Sten. He trained very well this morning, and he has a lot of attributes that will help us as a team moving forward, so I am delighted to have him on board, and there will be another centre forward or two added to the squad in the coming weeks."
Reinkort will be looking to pick up the mantle left behind by former Bohs striker Jonathan Afolabi.
“It is very exciting to be a part of this big club, and I am looking forward to the challenge," he added.
“Last year I got a lot of international experience that I can bring here, and a lot of European game experience too.”
