Indeed
What a season Brentford are having. Widely tipped for relegation (along with Sunderland!) but with just a handful of games to go they are riding 7th in the table with every chance of a European place. Head coach Keith Andrews was given until Christmas and one of the favourites in the “First to Get Sacked” betting. Fantastic work by my local team who are proving yet again that they are more than a carpark for Heathrow.
I remember my first game back at the old Griffin Park in Division Four way back in 1971. I still have the programme! The B team this week won the the Professional Development League title after a 2-2 draw against Swansea City Under-21s on Sunday afternoon. These young men would probably have won Division 4 back then. It just shows how far the club has come. Congratulations.

BRENTFORD FC ANNOUNCES INDEED AS NEW PRINCIPAL AND FRONT-OF-SHIRT PARTNER
Indeed, Brentford FC’s existing training wear and recruitment partner, will become the club’s front-of-shirt partner from the 2026/27 season.
Brentford Football Club is pleased to announce Indeed, the #1 job site in the world, as the club’s new principal and front-of-shirt partner from the 2026/27 season. This multi-year deal marks a significant expansion of their existing partnership.
As official front-of-shirt partner, Indeed will feature on all men’s and women’s first-team playing kits, as well as academy matchday kits. The new agreement builds on the success of the partnership to date and will also see Indeed have an increased presence at Gtech Community Stadium on matchdays, as well as the club’s digital channels. The partnership is underpinned by a shared commitment to data-driven decision making, smart recruitment and talent development.
Indeed became the official training wear and recruitment partner of Brentford in July 2025. Since then, the hiring platform has been working with the club on its own off-field recruitment
strategies, as well as with Brentford FC Community Sports Trust to support those looking for employment in London and beyond with access to career opportunities and employability programmes. This extended partnership sees Indeed also become the official Brentford FC Community Sports Trust lead partner, enabling further investment in community initiatives and supporting Brentford’s commitment to creating a positive impact in the local area. Indeed will continue as the club’s official training wear and recruitment partner.
James Whitemore, Chief Marketing Officer for Indeed commented: “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Brentford. This has been a natural fit from day one. At Indeed, we help people get jobs and employers find the right talent, enabling better matches and more efficient hiring. Like Brentford, we believe success comes from putting the right person in the right role – on the pitch, in business, or in a job. We both also know the power of combining data and human insight to help drive better decisions. Brentford’s strong community is something we are proud to be part of. Football is powered by fans – their energy, loyalty and sense of community are what truly bring the club to life. Through our expanded partnership, we’re excited to engage more deeply with Brentford’s passionate fanbase and with Premier League fans around the world, creating meaningful connections and opportunities that go beyond the pitch.”
Brentford FC Chief Executive Jon Varney said: “We are very proud to welcome Indeed to the front of our shirts from next season as we continue to grow the club’s profile on both a local and global stage.This expanded partnership builds on an excellent first year working together, which has been driven by our shared belief in using data to inform smart recruitment and a commitment to talent development at every level of the organisation, both on and off the pitch. “Alongside this, Indeed’s commitment to supporting communities aligns closely with the work of the club through our Community Sports Trust, as we seek to create opportunities and make a positive difference to people’s lives in our local area. We are looking forward to building on our work to date and the impact we can continue to deliver together for our fans and community.”
