ACADEMY GRADUATE BRANDON FORBES JOINS NORWICH CITY FOR UNDISCLOSED FEE

30th August 2024

Dundee United can announce Brandon Forbes has joined EFL Championship side Norwich City for an undisclosed fee.

The winger arrived at Tannadice last summer after netting a second-half hat-trick in the Scottish FA Youth Cup Final for Renfrewshire-based boys' club Thorn Athletic.

A positive season for the Young Terrors followed, as he netted 18 times and contributed a handful of assists.

Throughout the summer, Forbes was a member of the first-team set-up, featuring in pre-season friendlies against Brechin City, Annan Athletic and Connah’s Quay Nomads.

He would go on to mark his competitive debut with a free-kick against Ayr United - his first senior strike splitting the difference and putting our Premier Sports Cup Group B campaign back on track. 

The deal also includes significant performance-based add-ons and a sizeable sell-on clause.

Dundee United would like to extend our well wishes to Brandon for his future endeavours.
