Brentford FC have been linked with a move for former Northampton Town centre-back Brett Johnson.

The 22-year-old made 26 appearances during his time at Sixfields before being released at the end of last season, and is believed to be training with the Bees.

Boss Andy Scott is on the look out for a central defender after Matt Heywood left Griffin Park to sign a two-year deal with League Two rivals Grimsby Town.
