"Serie A is very good and Italy is a great place to live, but this is Brentford. It's the Premier League and I just want to test myself again. I'm excited to start."

The words of Aaron Hickey on his arrival at Jersey Road on Friday evening. The Scottish fullback signed from Bologna on a four-year contract, wasting no time in sitting down with us for his first interview as a Bee.

"I had a Zoom call with Thomas [Frank] and a few phone calls, he seems really nice. He's obviously a very good manager. He told me to come in, we'll see how I get on and push me to do my best."

"I played against Kris Ajer once or twice and also in a Cup Final a few years ago. It will be nice to see him. I was also at Hearts with Jack [Wilson, First Team Analyst], and it will be good to catch up with him."
