Whatever Happened To... Scott Fitzgerald
After spending the tail end of the 2003-04 season on loan at Brentford, Fitzgerald then joined the Bees on a permanent deal when he was released by the U's. The following season he made just 15 appearances and later retired from playing.
He remained at Griffin Park, taking on a role as youth team coach, and in December 2006 became manager of the first team following a short spell as caretaker boss. Brentford were relegated from League One having scored just 17 points in 25 games, which led to his contract being terminated after just four months in charge.
In July 2007 he joined Gillingham as youth team manager and months later rejoined Millwall in the same capacity. Four years on he is still at the Den as Head of Youth.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Brentford, Gillingham, Millwall.

The club released the annual accounts for the 2022/3 season this week, and despite the headline figure of an overall loss of £33.7 million, we’re not in danger of any points deduction for now. But the accumulated losses mean that player sales will be inevitable in the summer if we remain in the Championship.
Stuart Dallas battled hard for two years to return to the game after his serious injury, but has now had to accept that he can no longer get back to the level of fitness needed to play the game at the top level. Club Chairman Paraag Marathe led the tributes, and the player has sent an emotional open letter to all the Leeds United fans.
