Benjamin Fredrick has expressed his delight after signing a new four-year contract with Brentford and earning promotion to the club’s first-team squad.
The Premier League club announced on Friday that the Nigeria international has signed a new long-term contract, committing his future to the Bees.
Fredrick also reserved special praise for his former Brentford B head coach, Neil MacFarlane, now an assistant first-team coach, and reflected on how much he has developed since joining the West London club.

“The club has helped me a lot. When I came here, I was a little bit nervous and shy. I didn’t know how to do the basics because where I’m from is a little bit different to here.
“Especially Neil when I first came here. He always encouraged me, never shouted when I made mistakes and just told me to keep my head down and keep playing. He’s helped me grow as a player and a person as well.”
Ambition For New Season
Fredrick also outlined his ambitions for the 2025/26 season.
“I just want to keep pushing and learning every single day,” added the 21-year-old.
“My aim is to make my debut with the first team, get Premier League minutes and give my best when I have the opportunity.”
