Brentford Football Club has announced the signing of Ukrainian midfield player Yehor Yarmoliuk.

Yehor has joined from SC Dnipro-1 for an undisclosed fee and he has signed a three-year contract with Brentford with an option of an additional year.

The 18-year-old has completed a medical and will initially join up with Neil MacFarlane's Brentford B with the aim of pushing on to challenge for a place in the First Team squad.

Yehor came through the ranks with Dnipro and is also recognised internationally having made his debut for Ukraine's Under-21s at the age of just 16. He made his senior debut for Dnipro on 19 June 2020 as he featured against FC Vorskla Poltava, becoming the second youngest player to feature in the top tier of Ukrainian football at 16 years and 140 days.

Last season Yehor featured nine times for Dnipro in a campaign where he found the net once against VPK-Agro in the Ukrainian Cup in September 2021. The club's season was curtailed early due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
