Brentford have been boosted by the news that midfielder Eddie Hutchinson and goalkeeper Alan Julian have both signed new contracts. Hutchinson, 21, has agreed a one-year deal, while 20-year-old Julian has committed his future to Griffin Park until 2005.
Forward Kevin O'Connor, and defenders Matt Somner and Lee Fieldwick have also been offered new deals, while centre-back Leo Roget signed a one-year contract last week.
However, midfielder Mark Williams has already been told that he will not be offered new terms for next season, and played in a trial game for Bournemouth's reserves last week.
