2-7-10: Brentford have raided League One rivals MK Dons to sign defender David McCracken for an undisclosed fee. The 28-year-old was a key player for the Dons last season after joining from Wycombe but has signed a two-year deal at Griffin Park after the clubs agreed a fee.

"With Sean O'Hanlon, Gary Mackenzie and Mathias Doumbe we feel we have strength in central defence and the offer from Brentford made good business sense," Robinson told the club's official website. 19-1-11: Brentford defender David McCracken has joined Bristol Rovers on a month's loan. 31-1-11: Brentford defender David McCracken has extended his loan at Bristol Rovers until the end of the season.
