The defender spent the second half of last season on loan with the Bees and now makes the move permanent.

Wheeler-Henry joined Chelsea at Under-13 level, and was developed throughout our Academy. He was a member of the successful Under-17 Premier League Cup campaign in 2023/24, a season in which he also made his debut for our Under-18 side.

He signed his first professional contract after his 17th birthday and remained a regular in our youth teams before the switch to Brentford.

We would like to wish Joseph the best of luck in his future endeavours.
