Former Manchester United academy coach Justin Cochrane has been named head of coaching at Brentford.

Cochrane has signed a three-year contract with the Bees.

Phil Giles, Brentford's Director of Football, said: "Justin is an outstanding coach who has been doing very good work in recent years with Tottenham, England and Manchester United.

"We've known him for a while and so when the opportunity came up this summer to be able to bring him to the Club, we were excited to be able to do so.

"Justin will be part of the First Team coaching group under the continued leadership of Thomas Frank.

"The Head of Coaching role is a new one for us but will help us bring the coaching staff across the club even closer together and ensure that we are totally aligned in our coaching principles across teams.

"We look forward to Justin joining us for day one of pre-season."
