WINTERBURN JOINS ON LOAN

The Bees are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Ben Winterburn on a season-long loan from Premier League side Bournemouth.

The 20-year-old has made a total of seven First Team appearances for the Cherries, with his most recent coming in the club’s season opener at Anfield at the beginning of last month.

 

Ben joined Bournemouth at the age of 11 and signed his professional contract in July 2023.

 

The youngster enjoyed loan spells at AFC Totton and Weymouth across the 23/24 season, before making his Premier League debut in December 2024 under Andoni Iraola, coming on as a substitute in a 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

 

The versatile midfielder signed a new contract with the Cherries in March, keeping him at the club till the end of the 2026/27 season.

 

On brining Ben in on loan, Head Coach Dean Brennan said, “Ben is a player we have been tracking since last summer, and his progress in the past 12 months has been great.

 

“He will bring athleticism and high fitness levels, as well as quality in possession and his profile fits what we are looking for.”

 

On his move to the Bees, Ben added, “I get stuck in and work really hard. I’ll get up and down the pitch and hopefully contribute to plenty of goals and assists.”

 

Welcome to the Bees, Ben!

 
The deal is subject to the usual FA and League clearances.
