Brentford set to release Charlie Goode at the end of the season

Brentford are expected to release Charlie Goode when his contract expires next summer.

There is an option for an addition year on the four-year contract he signed when joining Brentford from Northampton Town in August 2020, but the Bees do not plan to trigger it.

The 28-year-old centre-back came through non-league football after being released by Fulham’s academy aged 15.

He joined Brentford for just over £1million in 2020 when the Bees were still in the Championship, but missed months of the 2020/21 season through illness.

Injuries to Zanka and Kristoffer Ajer saw him make a succession of Premier League starts early on in Brentford’s first season in the top-flight, but a December hamstring injury ended that run.

A six-month loan to Sheffield United was cut short by a serious knee injury, before a loan a year later to Blackpool was brought to an end after three games when the Englishman suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.

He has not played for Brentford this season and is expected to seek out a new opportunity next summer.

Goode has played a total of just 20 appearances in more than three years at Brentford.
