Kyle McFadzean joins Burton Albion for club-record fee

Burton Albion announce that they have completed the signing of MK Dons defender Kyle McFadzean for a club-record fee.

Burton Albion have strengthened their squad ahead of their debut campaign in the Championship with the signing of Kyle McFadzean for a club-record fee.

Last season, the Brewers made it back-to-back promotions as they finished runners-up to League One champions Wigan Athletic and on Tuesday, they moved to improve their backline with the transfer of McFadzean, who has spent the last two years at MK Dons.

Manager Nigel Clough told the club's official website: "We watched him extensively and think he was the best centre-half in League One.

"He's a good age and has matured as a player. He's probably at his peak and has hardly missed a game for the last two years."

Burton have not disclosed the fee that they have paid for the 29-year-old but it is more than the £20,000 that they spent on Russell Penn in 2009.
