A Football League tribunal has instructed Brentford to pay Walsall Football Club an initial fee of £325,000 compensation after signing Northern Ireland international striker Will Grigg.

The Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC) had been meeting since mid-morning after both clubs failed to agree compensation over the summer. Grigg joined SkyBET League One rivals Brentford in July on a three-year deal after turning down a new four-year contract with the Saddlers.

As well as the initial fee, Walsall are due £30,000 for every 20 competitive First-Team games Will plays up to a maximum of 100, i.e. £150,000.

The Bees will have to pay £50,000 if promotion to The Championship is achieved and £250,000 if promotion to the Premier League is secured.

There will also be a 20 per cent sell on clause if Will is transferred from Brentford to another club.
