New manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has made Chris Weale his first signing at Burton.

Former Chelsea and Middlesbrough striker Hasselbaink arrived at the Pirelli Stadium as the new manager this week, but he was immediately met with some bad luck when first-choice stopper Dean Lyness was rushed to hospital with a suspected broken leg in the Dutchman's first training session. To compensate that loss, Weale has joined from Yeovil on a one-month loan and could make his debut at Wycombe on Monday night.
