Myles Peart-Harris Arrives On Loan

Portsmouth Football Club has today announced the signing of 21-year-old Myles Peart-Harris on an end-of-season loan from Premier League outfit Brentford.

Peart-Harris has been with The Bees since July 2021, when he signed for an undisclosed fee on a 4-year deal from London rivals Chelsea - The fee was reported to be around £1.4million.

The Isleworth-born attacking midfielder had been with Chelsea since the age of 8 but never made a first team appearance, although did feature for the club's Under-21s side in the EFL Trophy.

During the 2021/22 Premier League season, Peart-Harris was named as a substitute in 8 of Brentford's matchday squads and made 2 appearances in cup competitions. That same campaign, he was part of the B Team's London Senior Cup winning squad.

In 2022, the midfielder joined Forest Green Rovers on a loan deal until January - After 25 appearances and 4 goals, that loan was extended until the end of the season.
