Ben Krauhaus, a talented and technically gifted midfielder, joined Brentford’s B Team with a creative style of play that stands out on the pitch.
Known for his calm demeanor and flair, Ben’s journey began in the Charlton Athletic academy before moving to Bromley, where he played a key role in the club’s promotion to League Two. Now at Brentford, he is honing his skills with the aim of making a significant impact in the years to come.
Ben's dream five-a-side team reflects his appreciation for creativity and defensive solidity, featuring football icons Lionel Messi, Phil Foden, Xavi, Virgil van Dijk, and Edwin van der Sar. His teammates would describe him as technical, creative, and relaxed—qualities that have already made him a standout in Brentford’s setup. Ben enjoys listening to Morrison before matches to get into the zone, and his go-to initiation song is Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You.
Adjusting to life at Brentford hasn’t been without its challenges, but Ben has embraced the new environment and the opportunity to learn alongside players competing at the highest level. His biggest influence has been Steve Aris, the First Team Coach at Bromley, who understood how to bring out the best in him. This mentorship has shaped Ben’s approach to the game, allowing him to express his creativity and contribute to the team's success.
Despite his short time with Brentford, Ben has already set his sights on progressing as a player this season, focusing on developing his overall game and understanding the new coaching styles. Training at the Robert Rowan Performance Centre alongside first-team players has been a valuable experience, teaching him the importance of quality in every minute of training.
Ben aims to be a player who can create chances and change games with moments of brilliance. His calm and composed style, combined with his creative spark, positions him as one of Brentford’s exciting young prospects for the future, ready to take his game to the next level and make a lasting impact at the club.
