Burton have signed Huddersfield winger Sean Scannell on a season-long loan deal.

The 26-year-old made 16 appearances during Town's promotion-winning season but did not feature in the Championship play-offs or last weekend's opening Premier League game at his former club Crystal Palace.

And Nigel Clough has recruited him as a seventh summer signing for Albion, who are bottom of the Championship after losing their first three games.

Clough told the club website: "We are delighted to have got in such a good player and one that is coming from a club who are now in the Premier League.

"He is a player who has impressed us over a number of seasons and who has always played well against us. He can play wide or through the middle and has pace. He will provide us with a much-needed attacking threat."
