Ben Nugent has returned to Cardiff City following the completion of his loan spell at Brentford.

The defender made just five appearances during his five-month stay at Griffin Park, scoring twice.

Nugent found first-team opportunities in west London limited, struggling to break up the solid centre-back partnership of Harlee Dean and Tony Craig.

The 20-year-old hasn't featured since the FA Cup win against Staines almost two months ago, and is now back with the Welsh club after his loan expired over the weekend.
