New deal for Kyerematen
We are delighted to announce that Rio Kyerematen has signed a new contract with the Club.
The midfielder has been with us since the age of eight and went full-time in 2021, signing his first professional contract the following year.
A key member of our Under-18 Premier League Cup-winning side in 2022/23, scoring a late winner in the semi-final at Sheffield United before netting a brace as we beat Aston Villa in the final at Villa Park, Rio has featured regularly for our Under-21s over the last two seasons, helping us to the Premier League 2 title in 2023/24.
An England youth international, he made his first appearance on the senior stage against Newcastle United on the Club’s post-season tour of Australia in 2024 and was named in our first team squad for the first time in a competitive game when we defeated Elfsborg in the UEFA Europa League in January of this year.
