Blues prospect Zaid Betteka has left the club.
The 19-year-old wide attacker is understood to be on trial at Swindon Town after a parting of the ways at St. Andrew’s.
Betteka also spent a spell training with West Bromwich Albion’s under-21s this pre-season.
Betteka’s mercurial talents saw him elevated to Chris Davies’ first team in January 2025, when he made his professional debut as a substitute against Lincoln City in the third round of the FA Cup.
