Brentford have snapped up Nigeria youth international defender Benjamin Fredrick.

The 17 year-old joins from Simoiben FC subject to an international clearance.

Bees B coach Neil MacFarlane said: “Benjamin is a player who has been identified by our recruitment department and he's a real prospect having impressed for Nigeria in recent tournaments.

“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."
