Brentford sign Jack Bonham

Highly-rated goalkeeper Jack Bonham has joined League One outfit Brentford on a free transfer from Watford.

The 19-year-old, who made his debut for Watford at the end of last season, will officially join the Bees at the start of next month.

Sporting director Mark Warburton told the club's official website: "We are delighted Jack has agreed to sign. He spent two weeks with us on trial at the back end of last season and did well.

"Jack has had an excellent Academy education with Watford, developing into a fine goalkeeper, with an international pedigree.

"He has enormous potential and will improve by being within the goalkeeping unit and working with coach Simon Royce."

Bonham has represented Republic of Ireland at youth level.
