    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After an impressive outing with the German side, Bynoe-Gittens has now revealed that he will start using a shorter version of his surname - which will be printed on the back of his shirt - from the upcoming 2024/25 season on his father's advice.

  • WHAT JAMIE BYNOE-GITTENS SAID

    Speaking to Dortmund's official website, the youngster explained why he would just use 'Gittens' on his jersey, "Both are my father's names, but he said he thinks it's better if I'm just called Gittens because it's shorter.
