Bedeau joined the Clarets in the summer of 2021.

London-born Bedeau started his senior career at Bury, where he was given a first-team debut at the age of 16 by ex-Burnley defender Chris Brass.

He then earned a move to Villa Park in January, 2017 before joining Scunthorpe United and clocking up 53 senior appearances for the Iron.

Bedeau didn’t make a senior appearance at Villa at a time when the Midlanders were trying to secure promotion to the Premier League with a largely experienced squad.

But he was a regular at U23 level – occasionally captaining Villa’s U23s –and has put in the hard yards in League Two for the last couple of years to further his senior know-how.
