Burton Albion unlikely to pursue former Derby County Player of the Year Youl Mawene

"We're a couple of days away from taking someone in that position, so it was only fair to let Youl know."
Defenders Carl Martin (released by Crewe Alexandra), Paul Downing (ex-West Bromwich Albion) and Marcus Holness (released by Rochdale) did take part in the game and Holness, a former defensive partner of current Brewers captain Nathan Stanton, appears the likeliest signing of the three.
