Kevin O'Connor is close to signing a new deal to remain with promoted Brentford.

"It was such a relief to see the list of released players and see my name wasn't on it," he told the Ealing Gazette. "Although naturally I feel for the players who were.

"I definitely want to stay, and it's as good as agreed. We just need to sort out the paperwork but there's no hurry.

"I hope the others offered new deals stay too as when you have just had a season like we have, you want to keep as many of the squad together as possible and maintain some consistency."
