He’s made a great impression on all the staff due to his performances in training and the way he’s conducted himself throughout the trial period. He’s a versatile player who can play at right back or centre back and has come through the academy system at Norwich City. He’s got himself back into professional football now after a short spell at a couple of non-league clubs and it’s very important that he maintains the professionalism and commitment to development that he’s shown over the past week in order to progress to the next level which is the First Team at Brentford Football Club."
