Burton sign Brighton winger Vickers

Burton Albion have signed winger Caylan Vickers from Premier League club Brighton for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old has agreed a two-year contract at the Pirelli Stadium, with an option for a further 12 months.

Vickers has plenty of experience of League One following loan spells at Barnsley and Wigan Athletic last season.

He began his career at Reading before being signed by Brighton, but did not play a first-team game for the Seagulls.

"He's an attacking player who will excite our supporters whilst adding goals and assists to the team," said Brewers head coach Gary Bowyer, external.

"Having played at this level already, he arrives ready to contribute and we look forward to seeing how he continues to develop with us."

Burton will be at home to AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday evening.
