Bees Manager Andy Scott returned to the Club at the end of last week after a mini break and was immediately able to add to his squad for next season.

Hammersmith born midfielder, Marcus Bean, who started his career at Loftus Road but more recently has been on loan with Rotherham United, signed on the dotted line.

23 year old Marcus is the third new player to pledge themselves to Brentford for next season following swiftly in the footsteps of Moses Ademola and Sam Wood.

Marcus, describing himself as a box to box player who is committed to getting the ball down to play, said he was looking forward to returning to London, having left the capital two and a half years ago when signing for Blackpool. Whilst at the Bloomfield Road club he helped them gain promotion via the Play Offs to the Championship.

Andy said: "He`s a player we have been tracking for a few months now after impressive displays for Rotherham when they were going well earlier in the season. He will be a good acquisition to the squad as he is a good age and brings with him enthusiasm, determination, physical strength and experience of the division".

There will be an interview with Marcus on this Site later on today.
