Cox makes Crawley loan move | OneFootball

Brentford goalkeeper Matt Cox has joined Sky Bet League One side Crawley Town on loan.

The 21-year-old will spend the rest of the 2024/25 season with the third-tier side, who currently sit 23rd and are coached by former Newcastle United keeper Rob Elliot.

Cox began his career with Chelsea at the age of eight, before he was signed by AFC Wimbledon six years later.

He joined Brentford B in July 2021 and was promoted to the first team a year later. He has been named in a multitude of Premier League squads by head coach Thomas Frank but is yet to make his Bees debut.

The keeper was loaned to League One side Bristol Rovers for the 2023/24 campaign, where he made 34 appearances.

Cox is an England youth international and was named in the young Lions’ squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, starting in four of the team's five matches during its victorious campaign. His performances were recognised with a place in the Team of the Tournament.

He has since made seven caps for England U20s and has been called up to the U21s on three occasions.
