Mikel Arteta had the new Shelbourne signing on his bench in the Premier League and Champions League last season.
Shelbourne boss Joey O’Brien has predicted that new signing Jack Henry-Francis can become a “top-class midfielder” during his time at Tolka Park.
The 21-year-old, who has signed a ‘multi-year’ deal, was initially on the books at Fulham, before he moved to the Arsenal academy at the age of 13. O’Brien said: “Jack’s a really talented midfielder with a brilliant foundation, coming through at Arsenal and spending time around their first team has given him a great grounding in the game.
