League of Ireland club pay tribute to former underage player killed in car accident abroad

Tributes have been paid to a talented young Dublin footballer who lost his life in a car accident while on holidays with his family in Jordan this week.

18-year-old Mohammed Alrawehneh, who lived in Firhouse in south Dublin, died following a collision in his native country on Thursday. A second teenage male was also killed in the accident while a third is in a serious condition in hospital.

Mohammed, who had just completed his Leaving Cert at Firhouse Community College, was a talented footballer who had previously played with the Shamrock Rovers U15 side and was planning on going to Trinity College to study engineering in September.

"Our deepest condolences go to the family and friends of Mohammad Alrawehneh who was killed in a road traffic accident in Jordan on Friday," read a statement from Shamrock Rovers.

"Mohammed was a pupil in Firhouse Community College and won the U15 SDFL Cup with Rovers in 2014. May he Rest In Peace."
