Reading keeper Ben Hamer has point to prove at Brentford

Ben Hamer

BEN Hamer is not going to live on past glories in his bid for first-team football at Brentford.

The Reading youngster returned on loan to Griffin Park for a fourth time this week.

He was an almost ever present as the Bees won the League Two title in 2009, but admits it was a "confidence-killer" being stuck back on Reading's bench.

And Hamer insists he needs to prove himself again in a new-look Brentford team as he battles it out with Richard Lee for the number one shirt.

"I've come to Brentford to play games," he said. "But I know I've got to perform well in training and do well in games.

"I'm not going to live on past glories. It's not the same side as I played in before, so I've got to gain the respect of my new team-mates.

"But there's no point swapping one bench for another one."
