Brentford have confirmed the signing of released Town defender Pim Balkestein on a three-year deal. At the end of last week, the Dutchman’s girlfriend revealed that the move was on the cards on her Facebook page.

Bees boss Andy Scott is pleased to have added the former loanee to his squad on a permanent basis: "Once again I'm delighted with this signing. Pim will bring the same quality to the side that he did during his loan spell last season.

“In the 15 games he played for us he played a major role in our finishing position and, having secured his signature on a long term deal, I believe he will be a significant component as we strive to achieve the ambitions of the football club."
