Burton have completed the signing of forward Ashley Hemmings on loan from Walsall until the end of the season.

Hemmings, who has been a regular in League One this season for the Saddlers making 32 appearances and scoring four goals, will spent the rest of the campaign at the Pirelli Stadium. The 23-year-old will go straight into the Albion squad for their game at York on Saturday. "We're pleased to be able to bring Ashley in. We've been looking at him since Zeli Ismail got injured and he comes with good experience," said Burton boss Gary Rowett. "Ashley has lots of ability and has played at a higher level with Walsall in League One. "His pace and trickery brings us a different option and we think he'll be a good addition in the last few games of the season." Hemmings began his career with Wolves and had loans at Cheltenham, Torquay and Plymouth before signing permanently for Walsall in 2012.
