The defender originally moved from his first club Charlton to Brentford in 2004 and when he was sold to Hull for £350,000 two years later, the struggling Bees could not afford to pay the sell-on fee.
But Charlton struck a deal to roll over most of their payment to a larger percentage of any future sell-on fee, which means they will now get a much-needed £1m, while Brentford will get an extra £750,000 on top of their original fee.
Andrew Mills, who did the deal as director of football at Charlton and has since moved to Brentford, said: "I am delighted to say it has been a win-win situation for both clubs.
"I am pleased for Charlton because it is a lot of money for them and Brentford have done very well out of it too."
The Bees play Charlton, who have got off to a cracking start in League One, this weekend and Mills added: "We play each other on Saturday so there should be plenty to talk about."
