Wes McDonald

Wes McDonald was a midfielder formerly at Fulham. He joined as a 12 year old from London neighbours Crystal Palace and left shortly after the start of his scholarship at the club when he was 16. A strong stocky player, Wes was quoted by Academy Director Huw Jennings as "a central midfield player who always looks to break the play up and get us moving forward; he can chip in with a goal or two as well". He suffered a nasty knee injury in 2012-13 whilst with the U16 squad but recovered well to earn a scholarship at the club.

After Fulham
Wes officially signed for Birmingham on 17 December 2013, though he had been on trial at the West Midlands club for over two months. He signed a two-year deal, joining up with their Under-18 squad.
