Lisbie signs for Colchester United | OneFootball

Brentford B forward Kyreece Lisbie has joined Sky Bet League Two side Colchester United on a permanent transfer, subject to EFL, FA and Premier League approval.

The forward signed for the Bees in the summer of 2022 and has been a consistent feature for the B team since his arrival.

Lisbie has been in good form this season, recording eight goals and three assists in 18 games.

His last appearance for the young Bees was against Chelsea Under-21s in the Premier League Cup, where he was the scorer of both goals in the 2-2 draw at Wheatsheaf Park.

He will now join Danny Cowley's Colchester United, who currently sit 13th in League Two.

Brentford technical director Lee Dykes said: "I’m delighted for Kyreece, as he takes the next step in his development by joining Colchester United.

"Our B team development programme has had great success, not only in progressing players into our first team but also in preparing them for senior football careers at other clubs. This is a key part of our academy philosophy and Kyreece is the latest player to embark on that journey.

"His move is a testament to the dedication of Neil MacFarlane and our B team staff, who work tirelessly to help players reach their full potential. On behalf of Brentford Football Club, I wish Kyreece all the best at Colchester United."

After time spent at Leyton Orient's Academy at the start of his career, Lisbie went on to play for non-league side Cray Valley.

Following this, he joined Watford in October 2021. While with the Hornets, Lisbie turned out for both the under-18s and under-23s.

He signed for Brentford B in July 2022.
