England-Ghana attacking midfielder Kayden Lucas has joined West Bromwich Albion Under-21s from Newcastle United Under-18s on a free transfer.
The 18-year-old completed the move on 18 August 2026 and has signed a contract with West Brom that runs until 30 June 2027. Lucas will join a squad competing in Premier League 2 after leaving Newcastle’s under-18 side, which plays in the Under-18 Premier League.
Lucas was born in Bristol and holds English and Ghanaian nationality. He operates primarily as an attacking midfielder and is left-footed. At 1.92m, he brings a notable physical presence to his preferred position, although the available details do not record a senior appearance or competitive contribution for either club.
The move follows a two-year spell with Newcastle’s youth setup. Lucas joined the club from Clevedon Under-18s on 1 July 2024, before switching to West Brom at the start of the 2026-27 season.
His arrival places him in West Brom’s under-21 structure, with the club’s development side competing in the Premier League 2 and the National League Cup. Lucas is also listed with West Bromwich Albion Under-21s at youth level.
