Nigerian defender Benjamin Fredrick signs a new contract with Brentford and is promoted to the club’s first-team squad ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season, several Nigerian outlets report. The agreement is described as a four-year deal, with a club option for an additional year. Brentford’s promotion puts the 21-year-old in the senior setup following his time with the club’s B team.
