Brentford club-trained players

We can verify 1 club-trained player in the Brentford squad: Ellery Balcombe. 6 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

• Ellery Balcombe (GK): no league minutes yet

On the record we can verify, 2 players club-trained at Brentford now play for other clubs we track, led by Chris Mepham (West Bromwich Albion, value €3m) and Jan Zamburek (ADO Den Haag, value €1m).

• Chris Mepham · West Bromwich Albion · €3m
• Jan Zamburek · ADO Den Haag · €1m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
