Speaking to the club's website, Bohemians manager Keith Long was highly complimentary of Dalton's abilities.

"Keith is an exciting, young wide player. He's very talented and hungry to do well," Long said.

"We're delighted to have him at the club having watched him progress with the Dundalk under-19s.

"He will give us good options down the right side."

Meanwhile, Georgie Poynton has extended his loan deal with the Gypsies to the end of the season.

Poynton, a former Dundalk U19 captain, has been a mainstay of the Bohs midfield this season and has scored goals in Dublin derbies versus Shamrock Rovers and St. Patrick's Athletic.
