Bray Wanderers have completed the signing of forward Endri Mustali from USL Championship side Tampa Bay Rowdies, with the League of Ireland First Division club retaining a percentage of future sell-on rights. The 18-year-old joins as Bray sit 2nd in the First Division with 40 points from 25 games, 17 points behind leaders Cork City.
Who is Endri Mustali?
Mustali originally signed for Tampa Bay Rowdies in August 2024 at just 17, becoming one of the youngest players in the club’s modern era. He made 19 appearances across all competitions, recording two assists during his time in Florida. The Italian-born forward developed locally with Tampa Bay United before earning an Honorable Mention in the 2023 USL Academy Finals.
Why this transfer matters for Bray Wanderers
Bray Wanderers, currently 2nd in the First Division with a record of 11 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, add Mustali to their squad as they push for promotion. The club, which last played in the Premier League in 2026, recently suffered a 0-4 loss to Kerry but maintain strong form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches. Mustali’s arrival could provide a fresh attacking option.
What comes next?
Mustali spent early 2026 on trial with several European clubs before finalizing his move to Ireland. Bray Wanderers next face Wexford away on August 3, with the team aiming to close the 17-point gap to league leaders Cork City. The forward’s youth and potential align with Bray’s long-term ambitions in the First Division.
