Whatever Happened To... Scott Fitzgerald
After spending the tail end of the 2003-04 season on loan at Brentford, Fitzgerald then joined the Bees on a permanent deal when he was released by the U's. The following season he made just 15 appearances and later retired from playing.
He remained at Griffin Park, taking on a role as youth team coach, and in December 2006 became manager of the first team following a short spell as caretaker boss. Brentford were relegated from League One having scored just 17 points in 25 games, which led to his contract being terminated after just four months in charge.
In July 2007 he joined Gillingham as youth team manager and months later rejoined Millwall in the same capacity. Four years on he is still at the Den as Head of Youth.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Brentford, Gillingham, Millwall.

Both Leeds and Millwall have issued statements to condemn some chanting from a minority of visiting fans at yesterday’s cup tie, which referenced the murder of two of our fans in Istanbul 25 years ago.
A much-changed Leeds side never quite got into it’s stride, and with Millwall’s goalkeeper in fine form, two goals from Femi Azeez were enough to take the South-East London mob through to the next round of the FA Cup.
For the second time in four days Leeds faced a side who came into the game in good form, but again we controlled the game, But this time we wasted a number of good chances and the win over Coventry City was far less comfortable than it should have been.
