Jack Bonham has been released by Brentford.
The goalkeeper spent this season on loan at Bristol Rovers, where he was instrumental in helping the club avoid relegation.
Bonham, 25, kept 18 clean sheets in his 40 league appearances for the Gas, pulling off a number of fine saves.
His form was so good that, in the first half of the season, it was revealed that a number of clubs had sent scouts to watch him play, with some Championship clubs linked with January moves for him.
In November, Bonham admitted that he was aware there was interest in him.
“I’m aware that people are coming and there’s an interest which is always great to hear, but my focus is just game-by-game and trying to get us up the league table. It’s nice to hear, but I don’t pay too much attention to it.” he said.

Yet he remained at Rovers for the second half of the season and continued to impress, with manager Graham Coughlan paying tribute to him after he kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw with Fleetwood Town that secured the Gas' safety.
He said: "Jack is an excellent goalie. Jack is one of the reasons we've kept 18 clean sheets and he was different class again, but as have all the lads in the defence to be honest. T
"hey've put their bodies on the line and they've been different class and Jack has been a mainstay in the goal. He should be rightly happy and proud of himself, he's been brilliant for us."
Where Bonham goes next remains to be seen but plenty of Gas fans will no doubt want to see him return to the Memorial Stadium.
