Burton Albion have signed striker Dale Taylor from Premier League club Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old, who came through Forest's youth ranks, made his senior debut coming off the bench in their 3-0 Carabao Cup win at Grimsby Town earlier this season.

"We watched him a lot at Forest Under-23's and he always stood out - he fits the way we like to play," Brewers boss Dino Maamria told the club website.

"We believe he can add that threat going forward and can be a good addition for us."

Taylor made his senior debut for Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier in 2021.

"It's going to be tough and senior football will be different but hopefully I can keep up the scoring this season," he said.

"Playing in League One is a great opportunity to gain experience of men's football and I can't wait to get started."
