MacDonald intends to prove point

Brentford signing Charlie MacDonald has vowed to prove he is good enough to play League football and fire the Bees to promotion from League Two.

The 27-year-old striker joined Brentford from Southend for an undisclosed fee to become the club's eighth summer signing.

MacDonald told BBC London 94.9: "I need to be given a fair crack.

"At Charlton and Southend I wasn't given as many games as I think I deserved to play."

MacDonald scored 27 goals in the 2006/2007 season at Gravesend & Northfleet, earning him a move to League One Southend.

But he found his time at Roots Hall frustrating: "Obviously starting only 15 games was disappointing. So here, I've got no excuses.

"Hopefully I can win a place in the team, get a good run under my belt and it's down to me then to go and do the business and if I don't there's nobody to blame but myself."
