All of Brentford's Old Guard retained for at least another season and there would be very little to argue against that. The longest serving players have really stepped up at different points this year and Andrews clearly values them.
We have exercised the option in the contracts of Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry and Mathias Jensen to extend the long-serving trio’s respective stays until the end of the 2026/27 Premier League campaign ❤️🐝

Piece from just after Janelt and Ajer signed their contracts but still relevant now. Jensen played more in the league than he has for three seasons and looked good as a 10 in Damsgaard's absence. thetimes.com/sport/football/…

Someone just sent me this - seen on the London Underground. I once dreamed of a successful career at the Bar. Perhaps the occasional mention in the law reports, or even the Evening Standard. Respectability at last. Never imagined it might involve appearing on a Middlesbrough fans’ Wembley banner somewhere on the Metropolitan Line… Good luck today, Boro.
Early contender for Flag of the Day… #Boro
