A highly rated youngster has made a move from Salisbury FC to the top tier of English football.

Dominic Jefferies has signed for newly promoted side Brentford.

The 19 year old will link up with their 'B' team who primarily play against professional Under 23 sides from across the country.

Dom originally signed on loan from Newport County in January and February 2020, before the season was curtailed due to the pandemic.

He then signed on for last season, which was also cancelled due to coronavirus.

In his time at the Whites, Dom played 13 games, scoring 2 goals from midfield.

On the Salisbury FC website, Dom said:

"Putting on the white shirt and playing at the Ray Mac was limited last season. I seemed to have had a short-lived but very enjoyable time at this super club and I am going to miss being here greatly. The support from the fans has been immense.

Thank you to Pete Martin for the sponsorship, to the coaching staff and thanks to the gaffer for believing in me! COYW!!!"

A training compensation agreement has been made between both clubs.
