Club career

Early life

Born in London, Bynoe-Gittens started his career with local side Caversham Trents at the age of five, and stayed until he was seven.[3] Shortly after, he joined Reading, and also spent some time with Chelsea.[3] At under-9 level, he chose to remain with Reading, and stayed there until under-14 level, when he chose to sign with Manchester City, rejecting Arsenal in the process.[4][5]

Borussia Dortmund

After two years in Manchester, Bynoe-Gittens moved to Germany in 2020 to sign for Borussia Dortmund.[6] His career in Dortmund was hampered by not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but a torn ligament injury that kept him out for a number of months.[7] However, the 2021–22 season was a much better one for Bynoe-Gittens; notable performances in the UEFA Youth League, where he scored six goals in four games, including two against Manchester United, earned him a call-up to Marco Rose's first team squad.[8][9][10]

He made his Bundesliga debut in a 6–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg on 16 April 2022.

International career

Bynoe-Gittens has represented England at numerous youth levels.[2] He is of Barbadian descent.[11]
