Defender, Ethan Pinnock has signed a new four-year contract at Brentford until June 2027.
Pinnock first joined the Bees from Barnsley in July 2019 and has since gone on to score seven goals in 153 appearances, during which he helped the club win promotion to the Premier League via 2020-21 Championship Play-Offs.
“This is great news for Brentford and I am incredibly pleased that we have Ethan with us for four more years, I am sure our fans are delighted,” commented Head Coach, Thomas Frank on Pinnock’s decision to remain at the club.
Reflecting upon Pinnock’s importance in defence throughout his time at the club, Frank continued: “Ethan has been a mountain in defence for us for the last four years. He played a key role in our journey to the top half of the Premier League. He is a top, top player and a great person.
“He has stepped seamlessly in the Premier League and it is an amazing story for him, and for football, that he can progress from non-league to the top of the game so quickly.”
Frank also applauded Pinnock for his development but teased that he can still progress further as he added: “He has proven himself to be a typical Brentford signing, he meets every challenge he faces and we think there is still more development for him.
“His impact in both boxes has been very important for us. He is superb defensively in the air and on the ground and plays a key role in our set-pieces. I think we will see even more goals from him next season.”
Pinnock’s consistency and reliability were also acknowledged by Frank as he concluded: “Ethan has been so reliable and consistent for us and I am sure that will continue.
“He will be spending the prime years of his career with us and we look forward to him helping the team be successful in the coming seasons.”
Brentford finish their season at home to Manchester City later today (28 May), knowing that victory would see them finish seventh and qualify for UEFA Europa Conference League if Aston Villa and Tottenham fail to win elsewhere.
