Brentford have signed Rob Kiernan from Wigan Athletic for a second loan spell.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international first joined The Bees on loan in November and he made seven appearances before returning to Wigan.

Rob featured in both central defence and midfield and played a key role in Brentford’s win over Sheffield United in late November, helping to set up the first goal.

The 21-year-old has signed on for a second loan spell and will stay at Griffin Park until February 9.
