Brentford have completed the signing of Wolves defender Nathan Collins.

He joins the Bees for an undisclosed club record fee.

The Republic of Ireland international has passed a medical and put pen to paper on a six-year contract, with a club option for an additional two years.

I'm very pleased that we've managed to sign Nathan," said head coach Thomas Frank. He's a very talented centre-back and still young.

He has a lot of very good abilities that we value a lot. He's a composed and calm defender. His heading in both boxes is a big thing, both in open play and from set-pieces, which is massive in the Premier League.

I also like his ability on the ball. He can carry the ball out of defence and also has the composure to find the right pass during build-up play.

His character is really good, and we know that character is everything. He will fit into our culture, I have no doubt about that. I see leadership potential in Nathan. He's a perfect Brentford player - hungry and ambitious with a desire to learn."
