Brentford have allowed young midfielder Jay Tabb to go on a month's loan to Dr Martens Premier Division side Crawley Town.

The 21-year-old has made five first-team appearances for the Bees this season, but has not featured since a substitute appearance in the LDV Vans Trophy back in December.

He made his debut in 2001 when he was still a teenager and came back from a broken bone in his foot during a pre-season friendly against Tottenham.

Bees boss Wally Downes is hoping regular first team experience will help his footballing education.
