SAM Saunders has signed a new deal at Brentford to keep him at Griffin Park until 2013.

The 28-year-old has been in fine form for the Bees this season, smashing eight goals in all competitions.

Saunders was offered a new contract in December, and has now put pen to paper to tie him to TW8 for a further 12 months with an option of another year.

The club have also tabled a deal to top scorer Gary Alexander , who is mulling over the offer to remain in west London.
