Brentford midfielder John Mousinho has left the club by mutual consent.

The 22-year-old has come to an agreement with manager Andy Scott to cancel his contract immediately.

Mousinho, who was expected to command a regular place in the squad in the forthcoming campaign, made his debut for the Bees in the 2005/06 season.

The midfielder, who was placed on the transfer list at the end of last season, started 50 games and scored two goals during his time at Griffin Park.
