Brentford have confirmed the signing of Romelle Donovan from Birmingham City on a permanent basis.
The former Blues apprentice joined the West London outfit’s B team on loan in February and impressed heavily, scoring 11 times in 15 appearances.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a five year deal at the Gtech Community Stadium and will reportedly join up with Thomas Frank’s senior side ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Brentford’s Director of Football Phil Giles said: “When Romelle arrived on loan in January, we knew he was a talented player with potential, but it’s fair to say that in his time with us he’s exceeded our expectations.
“His performances for the B team have been outstanding and he has shown himself to have a desire to work hard in training. He has earned his place in our first-team squad for next season.
“He will need to continue to work hard, on and off the pitch, to continue his progression with us towards first-team matches.”
