Forward, Keane Lewis-Potter has signed a new six-and-a-half year contract at Brentford, with a club-option to extend for a further 12 months.Â
Lewis-Potter has participated in every match for Brentford across all competitions this season, during which he scored two goals and contributed two assists – of which his latest goal came last weekend in their first away win of the Premier League campaign as the Bees won 5-0 at Southampton.
The 23 year-old has since signed a new six-and-a-half year contract with the Bees until June 2031, although the club will have an option to extend his contract for a further 12 months.
Brentford Head Coach, Thomas Frank has welcomed Lewis-Potter’s decision to stay with the Bees despite struggling with injuries during his first season, having joined from Hull City in July 2022.
“I’m very happy that we’ve agreed a new contract with Keane. He has been through a great development over the last couple of years.”
Frank also spoke of the 23 year-old’s tactical versatility in attack whilst also filling in at left-back this season and is confident that he has a bright future at the club.
“We know that he’s an offensive player – a winger – mostly, but he can play all the front four roles; what he’s also turned out to be is a very flexible and versatile player that can play multiple other positions, which he has shown this season by playing games at left-back, where he has done fantastically.
“For me, he is a fantastic Brentford player with a big skillset: one-on-one he is fantastic, his crossing is very good, and the way he helps the team is also so good.
“There is a big future for him here at Brentford.”
“It feels amazing to sign this new deal. I’m thankful to get it done and I can’t wait for the future,” commented Lewis-Potter as he addressed his new contract in a club video.
“Since I joined they’ve been so good with me. The togetherness we’ve got, it’s such a great club to be at.”
