Ben Mee: Brentford sign former Burnley captain

Brentford signed free agent Ben Mee after his contract with Burnley expired this summer.

Following an 11-year spell at Burnley, who were relegated to the Championship last season, the 32-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the west London club.

After Aaron Hickey, Keane Lewis-Potter, and Thomas Strakosha, the centre-back becomes Brentford’s fourth major summer signing.

Mee made 376 appearances for Burnley after signing permanently from Manchester City in January 2012. In July 2011, he was loaned to Turf Moor.

Mee missed the final 13 games of last season after breaking his leg in a match against Leicester in March.

However, Mee will remain a Premier League player after signing with the Bees, who represent a strong signing for Thomas Frank’s side with his experience, leadership, and ability.
