A strong and powerful forward, Michel Boni made the move to west London in the summer of 2024.

Previously at Leicester City, Boni made the move south ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, the young Bees’ first in the Professional Development League since the reintroduction of the academy.

After gaining valuable minutes abroad against Heidenheim Under-17s and Bayern Munich Under-17s in pre-season, an injury sidelined Boni for the early stages of the season.

He had an impact once he returned to the pitch, his first goal in Brentford colours coming in a 1-1 draw with Bristol City Under-18s.

Boni enjoyed a strong second half of the season, ending the campaign with five goals and two assists.

He gained valuable B team minutes in the London Senior Cup, coming on in the second half of the young Bees’ 3-2 win over Welling United. He went one better in the Robert Rowan Invitational, scoring a goal in the 6-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Gtech Community Stadium.
