BRENTFORD have made midfielder Jake Reeves available for the loan.

The 18-year-old had an impressive start to the season, making seven starts, but has fallen down the pecking order after Toumani Diagouraga's return to fitness.

Reeves was set to join Blue Square Premier side Hayes & Yeading before Christmas, only for illness, and then injuries to the Bees squad, to scupper the deal.

However, the youngster, who is back to fitness following an ankle problem, is still keen to leave Griffin Park on a temporary basis in a bid to get first-team football.

Boss Uwe Rosler said: “We need to get Jake some competitive games because we've got a busy February and March.”
