    Brentford have bolstered their squad ahead of Saturday’s eagerly anticipated visit of Sheffield United with the capture of two eye catching loan signings.

    Defender Lee Hodson has joined from Watford whilst Marcello Trotta has made the short hop across West London from Craven Cottage. Both will be with the Bees, initially at least, until 13th January.

    Hodson is well known to Sporting Director Mark Warburton and has made almost 100 appearances for the Hornets in the Championship as well as establishing himself as a regular in the Northern Ireland side. Having joined Watford as a trainee, the 21-year old defender made his debut for the Hornet’s First Team in their 3-1 victory over Derby in at the end of the 2008/09 Season. The following Season, he established his place in the side, making a total of 34 appearances and continued to hold down a regular starting berth in both the 2009/10 and 2010/11 Seasons, making over 50 further appearances.

    This Season, despite featuring prominently in August, Hodson has subsequently found his opportunities limited under new Boss Gianfranco Zola.

    Marcello Trotta will be a name many Brentford fans recognise with the youngster having enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell in League 1 last Season, netting eight times in as many games for a struggling Chairboys side.

    The 20 year-old joined Fulham as a trainee in July 2011 before enjoying his first taste of League action with Wycombe last Season. The highly rated youngster has featured for England at Under-19 level although has only featured once so far for the Cottagers, in their 1-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in August’s Carling Cup Fixture.

    Fulham have given permission for Marcelo to play in the Bee’s FA Cup Tie against Bradford, whilst both players will be eligible for the Bee’s Johnson Paint Trophy Fixture at Southend and it is hoped both will be significant additions to what is a Bees squad recently depleted by injuries to key personnel.

    Brentford Football Club have launched a ground-breaking ticket promotion for their final game, at Griffin Park, before Christmas and will be raising money for charity at the same time.

    The Bees will be running a special promotion for the match with supporters able to pay whatever they are able to get a ticket for the match.

    The ‘Pay What You Can’ scheme will see advance match tickets for Brentford fans sold at the price the supporter wants to pay.

    The minimum price for a ticket will be £1 and every ticket, whether for adult, senior, student or junior, apart from those already reserved for Season Ticket Holders, in The Bees United Stand, The BIAS Stand and The Bill Axbey Stand will be available.

    When more than £5 is paid for a ticket, the Club will donate 50 per cent of any excess, excluding VAT, to the charity Sport Relief.

    It is believed this will be the first Football League game to be priced in this way.

    Published on 15th November 2012 07:36

    The Hounslow Chronicle is reporting that the Bees are set to sign Wigan Athletic defender Rob Kiernan on loan.

    Although he has yet to make an appearance for the Latics first team since joining them from Watford in June 2011, the 21 year-old has experienced League action having completed various loan spells, most recently at Burton Albion where he made six appearances after joining at the end of September.

    A successful loan spell with League Two Morecambe followed which saw him make a total of 32 League appearances, netting eight times.

    In the following 2011-12 Season, Spencer again experienced League Two action, this time on loan at promotion chasing Cheltenham Town where he found the net ten times during 41 appearances.

    Bees Boss Uwe Rosler has added to his options in midfield with the capture of highly rated Norwich youngster Tom Adeyemi on a six month loan deal.

    The 20 year-old joined Norwich as a schoolboy and having progressed through the Club’s youth system, he signed his first professional contract aged 17 in November 2008. Clearly a bright lad, Tom turned down an offer from Cambridge University to pursue his footballing career with the Suffolk Club. He made his senior debut in the Canaries’ infamous 7-1 opening day drubbing by Colchester in the 2009/10 Season.

    The following Season, he joined Bradford on an initial six month long loan deal, scoring on his debut in the Bantams’ 3-1 defeat to Shrewsbury. The deal was subsequently extended until the end of the Season and Tom made a total of 37 appearances for the Yorkshire side, netting five times.

    Last Season saw another loan spell for the tough tackling, box to box midfielder, this time to League 1 rivals Oldham Athletic where he again spent the Season, appearing 45 times for the Latics and finding the net on three occasions.

    Brentford have confirmed the free transfer signing of front man Paul Hayes on a three year deal from Charlton. Boss Uwe Rosler had made no secret of his desire to bring Hayes to Griffin Park and despite recent suggestions the deal was dead in the water, has finally succeeded in securing his services.

    Born in Dagenham, Hayes began his career as a schoolboy with Norwich City, where he spent three years before signing for Scunthorpe in 2002. He enjoyed a productive three year spell with the Iron, making a total of 79 appearances and netting 34 times before leaving to join Barnsley in June of 2005.

    Following a three year spell with the Tykes, including a brief loan spell at Huddersfield Town, Hayes rejoined Scunthorpe on a free transfer at the end of the 2006/07 Season. He again enjoyed a successful spell, establishing himself as a firm fans’ favourite, netting 40 times in a total of 136 appearances.

    Leaving the Iron again in the Summer of July 2010, Hayes joined Preston. However, his time at Deepdale proved to be brief and following a loan spell at his former Club Barnsley, he was on the move again the following Summer to join Charlton. Having found himself pushed down the pecking order following the arrival of Jan Kermorgant, Hayes joined Wycombe on loan in February and was an instant hit, netting six times in just six appearances, before returning to the Valley.
