Adam Newton has joined Brentford after his Peterborough United contract was cancelled.

Full-back has contract at Peterborough cancelled

Adam Newton has signed a one-year deal with Brentford after his contract with Peterborough United was terminated. The full-back had spent six years at London Road, but the capture of Russell Martin has prompted his exit. Newton has quickly secured a new club after becoming Brentford manager Andy Scott's sixth new recruit of the summer. "Adam is a player that I've been tracking since January," Scott told the club's official website.

Good pedigree

"He has played at the highest level with West Ham and has a good pedigree having also played for England Under 21s. "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."
