Brentford technical director Robert Rowan has died at the age of just 28.

Rowan, who joined the Championship club four years ago, passed away on Monday, November 12.

A Brentford statement said: "All at the club have been left devastated by the news. All our thoughts are with Robert's wife, his family and all his friends - many of whom work at Brentford FC."

Rowan became the club's technical director in February, having been their head of football operations since the summer of 2015.

He also oversaw the strategic direction of Brentford B - the club's elite squad of players aged 17 to 21 - before taking on the role of technical director.
