At just 17 years old, Mawene has committed to a long-term contract with the Bees and will initially join the club's B team.

Having made his first-team debut for Preston last year as a 16-year-old, Mawene is expected to bring a fresh perspective and skills to the team.

Brentford B head coach, Neil MacFarlane, is thrilled to welcome Mawene to the team, stating that he is a player with a lot of potential and quality.

MacFarlane believes that Mawene will add to the team's creativity and complement their culture, helping to improve on last season's performance.
