Local lad Myles Peart-Harris - who attended Isleworth and Syon School and used to watch games at Griffin Park - started playing football for Bedfont Green as a young boy, before he was inducted into Chelsea’s Academy at the age of eight.

After nine years with the Blues, he signed his first professional contract, but he found that there was no obvious pathway to the first team.

At 18, he returned to his roots and signed for Brentford on a four-year contract, with a 12-month club option, for an undisclosed fee.

“I had a conversation with the staff and their confidence and what they think I could bring to their team - and how they can develop me - was very important,” he said.

Peart-Harris made his debut for the club during a 7-0 Carabao Cup win over Oldham Athletic in September 2021, featured briefly in the 4-1 FA Cup win at Port Vale in January 2022, and was part of the B-team squad that won the London Senior Cup a few months later.

His breakout season came in 2022/23, when he played 47 times during a loan spell at Forest Green Rovers, scoring six goals and assisting four more; his performances were seen as a high point, even though Rovers were relegated from League One.

During the first half of 2023/24, Peart-Harris was named in the matchday squad on 11 occasions and he made five appearances, which included his Premier League debut in the 3-1 win over Luton Town in December 2023.

In January 2024, he joined Portsmouth on loan and made 12 appearances and scored two goals to help former Bee John Mousinho’s side to the League One title.
