Millwall have given up on signing departing Brentford midfielder Alan McCormack.

The former Charlton man is a free agent following his release from Brentford.

He spent four years at Griffin Park, and helped the Bees into the Championship in 2014.

But injuries restricted McCormack to just 12 appearances last term.

Get West London says Millwall have been interested in the 33-year-old since January, but have now ended their pursuit of him.

McCormack said: “There’s always interest out there when players get released, and my agent is out there doing well.

“We’ve got a few things in the pipeline. I also get my A License in a couple of weeks, so that will help with getting good coaching roles too.

“I still feel good but just keep picking up stupid little niggling injuries. I just need to work in the summer on building up my strength again.”
