Brentford new boy Theo Archibald, who joined from Celtic on Friday, will fit into the club's ethos, according to head of football operations Robert Rowan.

The Bees moved to sign the 19-year-old winger on a three year deal with the Scottish champions receiving an undisclosed fee.

While the inverted right winger will need development and time to adapt to life in London, the club believe they have a gem on their hands and he could make his debut against Manchester City.

“I know Theo well from my previous jobs at Celtic and the Scottish FA. He’s a driven, professional and committed athlete whom over the last few months our staff have got to know better from a personal and football perspective, Rowan told the club's official website.

“It is always important that the people we bring to the club have the right character and personality and will fit well with the group. I like Theo as a young man and know he is the sort of person who fits our ethos.

“Theo is an inverted right winger, he’s powerful, quick, direct and intelligent in possession. Our plan is to do some work with him in relation to our style of play in order to fine-tune some areas of his game, particularly off the ball and align him with how we want to play.

“He has only just turned 19 so there is lots of development to take place over the length of the contract but the staff are looking forward to working with him to improve.

“He will join up with his team-mates for training on Saturday and will be available to feature against Manchester City.

“I would like to thank Celtic Football Club for their support and guidance throughout this signing process.”
