During the 2009–10 English football season, Brentford competed in Football League One. The Bees finished highest of all the promoted clubs in 9th place and reached the third round of the FA Cup.

After promotion back to League One as League Two champions at the end of the 2008–09 season,Brentford manager Andy Scott immediately cleared all the bit-part and injury-prone players out of his squad, releasing 13. In came goalkeepers Lewis Price on a season-long loan and Nikki Bull on a one-year contract, three defenders (Alan Bennett, Danny Foster and Leon Legge),midfielder Sam Saunders, left winger Myles Weston and three forwards (Carl Cort, Steve Kabba and Ben Strevens). Popular forward Nathan Elder departed Griffin Park in early August 2009 and dropped back down to League Two to sign for Shrewsbury Town for an undisclosed fee. Scott would sign three more players between the beginning of the season and the end of the summer transfer window – teenager Simon Moore as third-choice goalkeeper,centre back James Wilson on a one-month loan and winger Cleveland Taylor for an undisclosed fee from Carlisle United.
