Large Yellow flowering shrub name

Hi I had this shrub in my last garden a year ago and wish to buy one again, it started as a potted plant 12 inches high but went mad and looked like this in 2018

I thought it might be but it became very thick and woody so not sure, just found an earlier picture of it

I think it's Cytisus 'Porlock'...

I thought Jasmine had thin spindly main shoots, this developed thick trunks

Thanks Marlorena I agree just looked at some and the leaves are identical, I will get one ordered, thanks everyone for your help

Found it online as Genista Porlock and strangely one of the few garden centres to have it was a local one near my old house

Leaves look to be trifoliate.
Flower in pea family.
Which rules out Forsythia and Jasminum.
But cannot see clearly . Would love clear close up pics.
Cytisus porlock looks a good match.
