The youngster had to wait until his 18th birthday before signing a contract with the German club.
He had been training with the club’s Under-19 squad in the meantime.
BVB have not made an official confirmation on the player’s signing, but Matthews has posted a picture of himself in Dortmund colours with the caption “new beginning.”
The attacking midfielder is looking to follow in the footsteps of Steven Pienaar who had a successful career in Europe – in Germany, Netherlands and England.
