Brentford striker Ivan Toney says being offloaded by Newcastle United was the best development of his career.

Since then, the striker has rebuilt his career and he scored a record number of goals in the Championship last season as the Bees won promotion.

“It's about getting that chance and personally I don't think I got that chance," Toney told Sky Sports.

“That's my opinion on it, but others might think different. But it was a blessing in disguise, I came to Peterborough, found my feet again, and I am doing well for myself.

“When he (Rafa Benitez) came in I was injured at the time and he kind of said: 'Put the injured lads at the bottom end'.

“So it was tough to take, but I guess he is the boss, he comes in and does what he wanted to do."
