The Bees have won five of their last seven league games and, with top-two West Brom and Leeds stuttering, third-place Brentford are closing in.

Such recent form has seen Frank agree fresh terms at Griffin Park and on Monday he put pen to paper on a new deal.

"I am very pleased that the club offered me a new contract and I was delighted to sign it," he said.

"I love coming to work every single day and love working with the players and the staff here.

"There is a unique togetherness at Brentford and a unique focus on wanting to get better every day."
