Tommy Smith who has been on loan from championship side Ipswich Town for the past month has had his loan deal extended for the full 93 days with a "call back" clause included.

The 19 year old central defender has made three appearances for The Bees during his first month and during that time has formed a formidable central defensive partnership with Leon Legge. The defender still holds high hopes of representing New Zealand in this summers World Cup Finals in South Africa. 

Earlier today on this "Midseason Transfer Deadline Day" Brentford swooped to sign John Akinde on a one month loan deal from Bristol City with the view to an extended term, whilst also extending the loan of Lionel Ainsworth from Huddersfield Town until the end of the season.
