Marcus Phillips insists he is not a crock and can be the man to lead Brentford's defence next season.
The former Millwall defender has featured in Brentford's last two pre-season friendlies, including the first hour of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Watford.
This after being sidelined for the whole of last season with a cruciate injury.
But Phillips said: "It feels strong. It's been a hard year of rehab, which hasn't been easy, so it was nice to put together these last few games.
"I was a regular at Millwall when I was fit, so it's been a frustrating year."
Charlie MacDonald netted Brentford's equaliser against the Hornets with his first goal for the Bees.
