Cox back with Bees

Reading teenager Simon Cox has returned to Brentford for a second loan spell.
The 19-year-old midfielder made five appearances for the Bees before fracturing a fibula in the draw at Millwall in September.
Caretaker manager Scott Fitzgerald told Brentford's official website: "I was keen to get Simon back now that he's proved his fitness in two reserve games for Reading.
"Simon typifies the attitude I'm looking for and expecting to get from the players, and that's one full of passion.
"In the game at Millwall he played on even though he'd incurred a serious injury and eventually had to be hauled off by Brett the physio.
"The fact that he's overcome his injury so quickly shows that he has the spirit and determination needed to succeed, and could prove to be an inspiration to others. His return is timely as we still have a number of injuries to contend with."
