Development Squad striker Antonio German has been recalled from his loan spell at npower League Two promotion chasers Gillingham.
The 21-year-old forward, who is on a Development Squad contract at Griffin Park, linked up with the Kent club on February 26 and was due to stay until Monday, April 1.
But Brentford have exercised their option to call him back a few days early.
Antonio played seven games for Gillingham, starting four times.
He scored one goal for The Gills, in a 2-1 win over Plymouth Argyle.
Antonio joined Queens Park Rangers as a schoolboy and turned professional in 2009, making his debut on the final day of the 2008/09 season.
He played 20 games for the Shepherd’s Bush side, scoring three times, and had loan spells at Aldershot Town, Southend United and Yeovil Town before he left QPR in August 2011 and signed for Stockport County.
Antonio left Stockport in January 2012 when his contract expired and had been playing for Bromley on a non-contract basis before agreeing terms with Brentford towards the end of last season.
He is still part of the Club’s Development Squad but has made four substitute appearances for the First Team this season to add to the two he made last season.
He also scored his first Brentford goal – the equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Preston North End in November 2012.
