Burton Albion have signed midfielder Mark Helm from Championship club Burnley for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old, who came through Manchester United's youth ranks, failed to make a first-team appearance during his 18 months with the Clarets.
Burton boss Dino Maamria said he had been impressed by Helm while watching him with Burnley's under-23 side.
"He will play now for sure and help us pick up points, but he's also a long-term project for us," Maamria said.
Maamria also dismissed reports that Wigan Athletic had met a release clause to sign Victor Adeboyejo, but confirmed a clause in the forward's contract does exist.
