Club career

Early life

Born in London, Bynoe-Gittens started his career with local side Caversham Trents at the age of five, and stayed until he was seven.[4] Shortly after, he joined Reading, and also spent some time with Chelsea.[4] At under-9 level, he chose to remain with Reading, and stayed there until under-14 level, when he chose to sign with Manchester City.[5][6]

Borussia Dortmund

After two years in Manchester, Bynoe-Gittens moved to Germany in 2020 to sign for Borussia Dortmund.[7] His career in Dortmund was hampered by not only the COVID-19 pandemic, but a torn ligament injury that kept him out for a number of months.[8] However, the 2021–22 season was a much better one for Bynoe-Gittens; notable performances in the UEFA Youth League, where he scored six goals in four games, including two against Manchester United, earned him a call-up to Marco Rose's first team squad.[9][10][11]

Bynoe-Gittens made his Bundesliga debut in a 6–1 win over VfL Wolfsburg on 16 April 2022.[12]

2022–23 season

On 12 August 2022, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 3–1 away win against SC Freiburg.[13] On 16 August, Bynoe-Gittens signed a new contract until June 2025.[14]

International career

Bynoe-Gittens has represented England at numerous youth levels.[2] He is of Barbadian descent.[15]

On 17 June 2022, Bynoe-Gittens was included in the England U19 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[16] He made his U19 debut as an 80th minute substitute during England's opening game of the tournament, a 2–0 victory over Austria in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.[17] He made his first start at this age level in their next group game against Serbia and received praise for his performance in the semi-final against Italy.[18] Bynoe-Gittens started in the final as England won the tournament with a 3–1 extra time victory over Israel on 1 July 2022.[19][20]

On 11 September 2023, Bynoe-Gittens made his England U21 debut as a substitute during a 3-0 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification win away to Luxembourg.[21]
