Andrew Frampton

Andrew Frampton has signed for Brentford on a free transfer.

Frampton has signed a contract for two years, and will be in the Bee's squad to face Plymouth tomorrow night.

Frampton has had little opportunity to play under Francis, only making 2 substitute appearances this season.

The move will make financal sense for Simon Jordan who is keen to cut the wages bill at Selhurst Park, and equally give Frampton more first team experience, albeit a division lower.

Downes spoke after their win against Stockport at the weekend by saying: "Andy would be a valuable acquisition."
