Striker Dean Bowditch has joined League Two Brentford on a month's loan. Bowditch is yet to make a first team appearance this season, having been given a new one-year deal in the summer.

Boss Jim Magilton told the club site that the 22-year-old needs to play games: "We have agreed to let Dean go to Brentford for a month on loan.

"He needs to be playing regular first team football and hopefully he can go to Brentford, play well and score a few goals."

Bowditch has previously been on loan with Burnley, Wycombe, Brighton (twice) and Northampton.
