The 22-year-old, who has been without a club since leaving Celtic last summer, will look relaunch his career in Ireland after recent trials with Sunderland and Barnsley.

Burt - who can play on the wing or as an attacking midfielder - also had loan spells with Dumbarton and Alloa Athletic.

Bohemians boss Keith Long said: “Liam is a talented lad who can play across the three in a 4-2-3-1.

“Liam is a good age and has had a good football education at both Rangers and Celtic. He needs to kick on in his career now and moving to a new country and new environment can help him do that.

“He is an extremely talented player with real pace and we hope the qualities he offers us will benefit the team.

“He is a good kid with a good background and we are looking forward to Liam showing the quality he undeniably has.”
