Ryan Woods signs new Brentford contract

Young Brentford midfielder Ryan Woods has signed a new deal keeping him at Griffin Park until the end of the 2019-20 season.

The 22-year-old joined the Bees last summer and was an ever-present thereafter, contributing two goals from the middle of the park as the club finished ninth in the Championship.
