Terry Butcher's Brentford have been linked with a loan move for striker Dean Bowditch. A short-term switch for the former England U19 international has been planned since his return to action after summer groin surgery.

Brighton were said to be targeting Bowditch earlier in the season, but cooled in their interest in the 21-year-old, who was on loan at the Withdean Stadium a year ago.

Brentford already have Town midfielder Sammy Moore on loan until January, while striker Jordan Rhodes is also a player Terry Butcher may bring to Griffin Park for a spell.
