Brentford sign Nigeria U-20 defender

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 1, 2023

English Premier League side Brentford have announced the signing of Nigeria U-20 player Benjamin Fredrick on loan from Simoiben FC in Kaduna until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Simoiben FC is owned by Super Eagles winger, Moses Simon.

The Kaduna side also shared the unveiling of the player on their Instagram account with the caption, “We can’t promise he won’t sting you.”

The move is subject to international clearance and the central defender will join up with the Brentford’s B team under coach Neil MacFarlane.

There is also an option to make the signing permanent.

The 18-year-old defender has had loan spells with Nigerian clubs such as ABS and Nasawara United in recent seasons and he now heads to west London to continue his development under the B-team staff.

Frederick played for Nigeria at the U-20 AFCON and World Cup earlier this year, finishing third at the Africa showpiece and also reached the quarter-finals at the world cup in Argentina.

He was a regular for Ladan Bosso’s team at both tournaments, playing four times in the U-20 World Cup and also featured six times as Nigeria finished third in the U20 Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

“Benjamin is a player who has been identified by our recruitment department and he’s a real prospect,” Brentford B head coach MacFarlane said via the club website.

“He’s a very tenacious player who likes to defend on the front foot. He’s somebody we will look to develop through our games programme, and we’ll see how his development progresses over the course of his loan. We look forward to welcoming Benjamin to the club.”
