DONE DEAL: Bennett cuts ties with Man Utd to join Fleetwood

Fleetwood Town have signed Manchester United defender Rhys Bennett in a permanent transfer.

Bennett was loaned to Fleetwood during the 2024/25 season, where he turned out in 38 matches.

He has been to Manchester United since the U10s, but now cuts ties without making his first team debut.

Bennett said, 0“I’m absolutely buzzing to be back here. From the moment I came in last time it just felt like a family. I’m really excited to pick up where I left off and get back playing football.”

The defender, 22, has signed a deal with Fleetwood to 2028.

He will join up with his former United teammate Ethan Ennis, who is currently on loan at Highbury Stadium.
