Scott Hogan's reward for bagging seven goals since returning to action from injury last month, is to see his summer holiday cut short.

The Brentford striker hit his third successive double - to add to goals from Sergi Canos, Lasse Vibe and Chelsea loannee John Swift - as the Bees cruised to a 5-1 win at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

Hogan arrived at Griffin Park from Rochdale in the summer of 2014, but cruciate knee ligament damage suffered in a 2-0 win at Rotherham in August saw him ruled out of his first season at the club.

A succession of setbacks this term only saw him return to fitness in March helping inspire his side to a run of seven wins from nine games.

The former Rochdale frontman said last week that his motivation this term has been to prove his worth on his comeback and his goal haul can only be a sign of things to come next term.

Good return: Scott Hogan's double against Huddersfield Town was his third brace in successive appearances for the Bees

He has certainly done that and, while the rest of the squad enjoy a well earned break, boss Dean Smith has warned he will be back in the swing of things much earlier than expect to ensure he finds his shooting boots ahead of the new season.

"Each player will have an individual programme during the summer," he said.

"Obviously Scott with his history will have his own, but I think everyone can see his progress.

He is still being managed and he'll probably be one of 4-5 players who will come in a week early."

Hogan's return has also seen a resurgence in the form of Lasse Vibe, who climbed off the bench as Hogan's replacement to rifle home his seventh goal in his past seven appearances.

And Smith hailed the riches at his disposal.

"What we have at the moment are two players in Scott Hogan and Lasse Vibe who go in behind," he added.

"Everyone talks about Jamie Vardy at the moment who doesn't stop working, but that's what we have in Scott and Lasse and they give us an out ball."

The pair were both on scoresheet as Brentford ended their season in style and cemented a ninth place finish after a season of transition under three different head coaches.

It was a remarkable start to the game with Canos breaking down the right and firing past Jed Steer after only 22 seconds.

The Bees had another good chance when a Jake Bidwell corner from the right was headed on by Harlee Dean and Yoann Barbet couldn't convert from close range.

In reply a mazy run down the right by Sean Scannell ended with a weak shot easily gathered by David Button.

A great early ball from Nico Yennaris released Hogan down the left, but his final shot couldn't match his excellent first touch and substitute keeper Lloyd Allinson blocked.

Barbet was presented with another good opportunity when Sam Saunders planted a free kick on top of his head, but he failed to direct it past Allinson.

Huddersfield drew level only five minutes into the second half after Dean and Button failed to deal with a throw from the left and Jamie Paterson nipped in to score from close range.

The Bees didn't waste any time restoring their lead after in-from Scott Hogan was given the freedom of the Huddersfield half as he raced away and slotted a composed finish past Allinson.

Hogan made it seven goals in four games with another wonderfully composed finish after a perfectly weighted pass through the heart of the defence from Konstantin Kerschbaumer.

Substitute Vibe didn't take long to get in on the act, taking the ball on the right side of the box and unleashing a fierce shot which beat Allinson at his near post.

Fellow sub Swift wrapped things up as he cut through the heart of Huddersfield's defence and fired past the hapless Allinson.

Brentford: Button; Colin, Dean, Barbet, Bidwell; Canos (sub Clarke 69), Yennaris, Woods, Kerschbaumer (sub Swift 82), Saunders, Hogan (sub Vibe 64).
