He has impressed Jennings - a renowned youth developer who has helped produce the likes of Gareth Bale, Adam Lallana, Theo Walcott, Ryan Sessegnon and Moussa Dembele.
Jennings told The New Paper:"Ben had a really good first year as a scholar here at Fulham - which is the contract before a professional agreement. "He really impressed us with his high technical quality and his ability in possession to be very effective. "We were very pleased to give him a two-year professional contract with a view to seeing if he can make steps towards our first team."What we thought was bruising of his shin has unfortunately turned out to be more sinister, in terms of the challenge of the injury and the stress fracture.
"But he will come back, hopefully, in the next few months, and we look forward to working with Ben and monitoring his progress for next year because he is a player with a lot of talent and an excellent work ethic."
