He has made 67 appearances and scored five goals since joining the Bees on a free transfer in July 2022.\n<p>\u201cSunday will be my last game at the Gtech. I\u2019d like to thank the Bees fans for the amazing support you\u2019ve given me during these last three years - it\u2019s really meant a lot,\u201d said Mee in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThis is a unique club full of fantastic people and I\u2019m really proud and grateful to have had the pleasure to play here. I still have a lot more to give on the pitch and I\u2019ll certainly be looking to do that somewhere next season and beyond. For now, let\u2019s hope we can have a strong finish to the season,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following Burnley\u2019s relegation to the Championship, Mee ended his 10-year stay in Lancashire with a move to Brentford in July 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The centre-back marked his home debut with a goal as Thomas Frank\u2019s side beat Manchester United 4-0 in an unforgettable game at Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mee missed just one game as the Bees ended the Premier League season in ninth. He was named Brentford Supporters\u2019 2023\/23 Player of the Year in recognition of his impressive performances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Manchester City Academy graduate made 18 appearances last term and scored in victories over Luton Town and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He has made a further 11 outings this campaign, starting in each round of the Carabao Cup. Brentford lost 3-1 to eventual winners Newcastle United at the quarter-final stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cBen has been fantastic for us. His first season was outstanding; he was a big part of us finishing ninth in the Premier League. He has not had as many minutes in the two seasons since then, but he has always performed when called upon and been invaluable off the pitch,\" head coach Thomas Frank said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He has made a further 11 outings this campaign, starting in each round of the Carabao Cup. Brentford lost 3-1 to eventual winners Newcastle United at the quarter-final stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
