Brentford snap-up Danish centre-back Mathias Jorgensen on free transfer as Thomas Frank bolsters defence with former Fenerbahce star

Brentford have reinforced their back-line as they fight for Premier League survival, signing free agent Mathias Jorgensen on a one-year contract.

The 31-year-old centre-back has an option to extend for an extra year in west London if he impresses this season.

Jorgensen, who is known to fans as Zanka, parted ways with Fenerbache this summer after two years with the Turkish club which featured loan stints at Fortuna Dusseldorf and Copenhagen.
