Burton sign Vickers, O'Mahony, and Raphael

Burton Albion have signed winger Caylan Vickers from Brighton for an undisclosed fee and have completed a loan deal for Mark O'Mahony from the Premier League club.

Coventry City winger Raphael Borges Rodrigues, 22, has also joined on loan for the season.

Vickers has agreed a two-year contract at the Pirelli Stadium, with an option for a further 12 months.

The 21-year-old has plenty of experience of League One following loan spells at Barnsley and Wigan Athletic last season.

He began his career at Reading before being signed by Brighton, but did not play a first-team game for the Seagulls.

"He's an attacking player who will excite our supporters whilst adding goals and assists to the team," said Brewers head coach Gary Bowyer., external

"Having played at this level already, he arrives ready to contribute and we look forward to seeing how he continues to develop with us."

Republic of Ireland youth international O'Mahony moved to Brighton from Cork City in 2023 and has made four appearances for the Seagulls.

The 21-year-old joined Portsmouth on loan in 2024 and scored three goals in 13 games at Fratton Park. He then spent the first half of last season on loan at Reading before injury curtailed his time with the League One side.

"We're really pleased to have Mark with us for the season," Bowyer said. "It's great to add another attacking option to our squad, we look forward to working with him and continuing his development."

The club also said Tomas Kalinauskas had left after a mutual agreement to terminate his contract.

The 26-year-old was in the final season of a three-year deal, after signing from FC Den Bosch in 2024.

The Lithuanian played 44 times for the East Staffordshire side, but also spent time on loan at Swedish club Kalmar FF, and Roda JC Kerrade in the Netherlands.
