Nigeria international Benjamin Fredrick has set his sights on making his Premier League debut after signing a new four-year contract with Brentford and earning promotion to the club’s first-team squad.
The 21-year-old defender, whose new deal includes an option for an additional year, said he is determined to seize every opportunity this season.
“My aim is to make my debut with the first team, get Premier League minutes and give my best when I have the opportunity,” Fredrick said.
“I just want to keep pushing and learning every single day.”
Fredrick described his new contract as a proud moment for both himself and his family, while thanking Brentford for helping him develop on and off the pitch since joining the club.
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews praised the Nigerian defender’s potential, saying the club believes he has the quality to establish himself in the first team after recovering from an injury that cut short his loan spell in Belgium.
Andrews added that Fredrick will now focus on integrating into the senior squad and competing for regular opportunities.
