Falkirk 'a good platform' for new signing Krauhaus

[PA Media] Falkirk are "a good platform" for Ben Krauhaus, says manager John McGlynn after signing the midfielder on a season-long loan from Brentford. The Englishman joins the Bairns after two loan spells at first club Bromley and has made more than 130 senior appearances, scoring 18 goals. Krauhaus could debut in Tuesday's Premier Sports Cup match against Ayr United at the Falkirk Stadium. Falkirk opened Group G with a 5-0 win at Edinburgh City on Saturday. "Ben Krauhaus is an attacking midfielder who was brought to our attention by Brentford," McGlynn told Falkirk media. "Ben was playing for Bromley when Brentford signed him and last season he was a big part of the squad that won promotion to League One. "He therefore comes to us with a lot of experience, having already played in some big games, and that can only help us. "This is a good platform for Ben to take the next step in his career and I am sure he will do an excellent job for us in the season ahead."
