Brentford have completed the signing of defender Robbie Neilson on a month's loan from Leicester City.

The 30-year-old Scot has become Nicky Forster's first signing since he took over as caretaker manager at Griffin Park. "Robbie is a flexible player who can play as a right-sided centre-back or a right-back and is comfortable in either role," said Forster. "He's a seasoned professional and has played games at Championship level. "He is looking forward to coming here to play regular first-team football." Neilson will be in line to make his debut when the Bees are next in action against Tranmere on Tuesday.
