Burton Albion manager Paul Peschisolido has signed Nottingham Forest striker Nialle Rodney on a one-month loan deal.

The Brewers were keen to strengthen their attacking options after recent signing Calvin Zola was ruled out for a month with a hamstring tear.

Rodney, 20, has made three substitute appearances in the Championship this season and will be available for Tuesday's home game against Lincoln.

"He's strong and quick and very direct," Peschisolido said.

"We wanted somebody who could bring a bit more presence and pace to the squad as I think we need a bit more athleticism.

"He's somebody who we've been looking at for a little while. He's been in and around the first team squad at Forest and he will certainly be a good addition for us."
