Birmingham loan midfielder Donovan to Burton

Birmingham City have allowed highly-rated teenage attacking midfielder Romelle Donovan to join fellow League One side Burton Albion on a season's loan.

The 17-year-old made 10 Blues appearances following his debut against Hull City in October - in former boss Wayne Rooney's first home game in charge.

He was part of the Blues Under-21s team which reached the Professional Development League National Final in 2021.

He joins a Burton side managed by former Chelsea development coach Mark Robinson who have made an indifferent start to the season, picking up two points from their first three games.
