Carl Cort ready for Brentford forward fight

Carl Cort

CARL Cort insists he's no stranger to a fight for a starting spot.

The Brentford striker stepped up his comeback from an Achilles injury with a late cameo in Tuesday night's win at Stevenage.

But he faces competition from Charlie MacDonald, Gary Alexander, Robbie Simpson, Nicky Forster and Kirk Hudson for one of Andy Scott's two striking spots.

And Cort is under no illusion he faces a battle for a starting place – but it is not a challenge which fazes him.

He added: “At Newcastle I was competing with Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy for a place, so I know all about battling to get into the team, and it’s good to have so much competition here.”
