Brentford have had their fair share of players that have come and gone from the club over the years. 

The Bees are now playing their football in the Championship, and will be targeting promotion into the Premier League once again under the management of Thomas Frank.

They're currently sat second in the Championship table, and will fancy their chances of going one step further than last season, where they were beaten by Fulham in the play-off final.

But do you know where some of these former players are playing their football now? You might be surprised with some of them!

Josh McEachran is next up, with the midfielder playing for Brentford between 2015 and 2019.

Cox left Reading in 2008, and has gone on to play for the likes of Swindon Town, West Brom, Nottingham Forest and Southend United.
