Brentford manager Andy Scott has today confirmed experienced defender / midfielder Adam Newton as the latest addition to his squad, his sixth signing of the summer.

Adam signs a one-year contract effective from 1st July, and will familiarise himself with the Osterley Park training ground this week before joining his new team mates for the full pre-season training programme on 30th June.  

He started 26 matches for the Peterborough side who won promotion from League two last term, and has also represented Leyton Orient, Notts County, West Ham and Portsmouth since making his full debut in 1999.  

Speaking exclusively to brentfordfc.co.uk on Monday, Andy said:

"Adam is a player that I've been tracking since January. He has played at the highest level with West Ham and has a good pedigree having also played for England Under 21's.

"He has been consistent throughout his six years at Peterborough, playing over 200 games, and is equally comfortable at either right-back or on the right side of midfield.

"He's athletic, and is a very good signing for the Club."
