Burton Albion announce Jon McLaughlin arrival

Burton Albion have announced the signing of ex-Bradford City goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin on a one-year deal.

The 26-year-old parted company with Bradford last week after failing to agree a new contract at Valley Parade.

McLaughlin, who joined the Bantams in 2008, made 48 appearances last season.

"He brings experience," Burton boss Gary Rowett told the club's official website. "He's played over a hundred games for Bradford and was ever-present in League One.

"He was as good as any other goalkeeper in the division, so I'm pleased to get him on board."

Burton start the new League One season away to Oxford United on August 9.
