Bees sign ‘outstanding’ teenager Donovan from Birmingham.

Brentford has signed Romelle Donovan from Birmingham City on a five-year contract.

The 18-year-old attacking midfielder joined Brentford B on loan in February and has 11 goals and 10 assists in 15 games.

Donovan has impressed Thomas Frank and will now join his first-team squad.

Phil Giles, Bees director of football, stated: “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 demonstrated a willingness to work hard in training. He has earned a spot on our first-team roster 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.”
