Bees boss eyes new keepers

Ben Hamer

BRENTFORD boss Andy Scott is running the rule over two keepers in an effort to replace Ben Hamer.

Scott has enquired about Everton shot-stopper John Ruddy, touted as a future England keeper when the Toffees snapped him up from Cambridge United four years ago.

And he has been casting his eye in training over Craig Holloway, a former Arsenal junior who has also kept goal for Farnborough, Southend and Ebbsfleet.

The 24-year-old spent last season with Blue Square South side Braintree Town.

With Simon Brown believed to be stalling on a new contract, Hamer (pictured) back at Reading and Seb Brown released, Scott currently has no first-team keepers.
