DAVIS Keillor-Dunn has made the step up to League One after joining Burton Albion on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old, who was a 17-goal top scorer for Oldham Athletic despite a troubled season, was available on a free transfer after coming to the end of his contract at Boundary Park.

And Brewers manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes there is even more to come from the attacking midfielder, who becomes the club's first summer signing.

“We’re happy to be signing Davis - he scores goals, gets assists and he’s especially done very well in the last year and a half, to two years,” said Hasselbaink.

“I think we needed a bit more creativity up the top end of the pitch, and we hope he can offer that for us.

“He can play all four positions up front, whether it’s wide or central. We know we can get him fitter and there’s still room for improvement with him.

“There was interest from elsewhere for his signature, but it’s a good start for our summer business to get this type of player.”

On completing his move, Keillor-Dunn said: “I’m delighted to get the deal over the line and to be signing for Burton Albion.

“Since hearing about the interest from the club and the manager it really excited me - I see it as somewhere I can really kick on and develop my football.

“I really enjoyed my time at Oldham and I’m very grateful to them for everything they have done for me.

“I feel that my time there has really improved me as a player and has allowed me to express what I can do on a football pitch.

“I believe that playing under the manager here will really suit me. He’s played at the top and that’s the experience I need to help develop my game. He has ambitions like myself, and I think he’ll push me onto that next level.

“I’m buzzing to be here and can’t wait to excite the Brewers fans!”
