Brentford are keeping tabs on Derry City winger Barry McNamee.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international impressed during a week-long trial at Griffin Park earlier this month, but has returned to the Candystripes without being offered a deal.

However, the Bees will continue to monitor the youngster's progress, although the League of Ireland side would be entitled to compensation should Brentford make a move.

Sporting director Mark Warburton said: "Barry did really well and pleased the staff with the way he conducted himself on and off the pitch.

"We have to weigh up the amount of compensation sought by the selling club, but will continue to keep tabs on him."
