Burton Albion swoop for Sunderland keeper Pickford

Burton Albion are signing Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on-loan.

Pickford, 19, who has represented England more than 30 times at youth level, is highly regarded at the Stadium of Light.

Burton manager Gary Rowett said: "Jordan is a player of undoubted ability who I know is regarded very highly by the coaches at the Stadium of Light.

"He's a player with great potential and in him and Dean Lyness we now have two talented young keepers.

"It's a position that requires a lot of consideration and I believe Jordan has the attributes and temperament to be a really valuable addition to the squad."
