Championship club Brentford release Moses Odubajo

BetOdds Transfers Championship Brentford African All Stars

The Bees will not be renewing the contract of the Anglo-Nigerian despite his consistent performances this season

Championship clubÂ Brentford have released right-back Moses Odubajo following the expiry of his contract.

The 25-year-old initially joined the Bees in 2014Â before leaving for Hull City the following year, where he helped the Tigers gain promotion to the Premier League as 2016 Championship Playoff champions.

HeÂ suffered a serious knee injuryÂ 2016/17 pre-season which ruled him out of the entire Premier League season. After a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the right-backÂ returned from the setback in March 2018.

In his quest to get his career back on track, Odubajo returned to theÂ Griffin Park as a free agent last summerÂ byÂ signing a one-year contract with the option of a further year.

The defender was a consistent performer for Brentford and featured in 35 games inÂ all competitions to help the Bees finish the 2018-19 campaign in the 11th place in the Championship table.

Despite his impressive showings for the club, coach Thomas Frank stated thatÂ Odubajo and five otherÂ players are no longer part of his plans at the Griffin Park.

â€œYoann, Moses, Josh and Lewis have been valuable members of the group this season,â€ Frank told Brentford website.

â€œThe competition for places in midfield is fierce and Lewis and Josh have not had the opportunities they would have wanted in matches. But they have been very professional in their work, have helped the group preparing for games and have made a contribution on the pitch when needed.

â€œYoann and Moses have played a lot of games for us this year and have made a valuable contribution. Their departure will give opportunities to others that we have in the squad, in the B Team and players that we hope to bring in.

â€œI have enjoyed working with both of them and they have never let us down. I wish all the players leaving us the very best for the rest of their careers.â€
