Smith set for Darlo deal

Jun 30 2009 By Jacob Murtagh

GARY Smith is poised to join League Two outfit Darlington.

Smudger was released by Brentford at the end of the season after an injury-ravaged two-year spell in west London.

An ankle injury ruled him out of most of last campaign, before being shown the door by boss Andy Scott.

A pal of the player said a move to the Quakers is a no-brainer for the former Middlesbrough and MK Dons midfielder.

Our source said: "Gary was unlucky with injuries at Brentford. He was set to play a big part before doing his ankle at the start of the season.

"But this is a good move for him. He's from the north-east, and this is a chance for a fresh start."
