Burton Albion: Defender Damien McCrory signs new deal

Damien McCrory started his career at Plymouth Argyle

Burton Albion defender Damien McCrory has signed a new two-year contract with the League Two club.

The 24-year-old made 47 appearances last term before being sidelined with a knee injury in April.

The former Republic of Ireland Under-19 international has started 99 matches for the Brewers since arriving at the Pirelli Stadium on a two-year deal from Dagenham & Redbridge in 2012.

"Bring on next season, expecting another big season," McCrory tweeted.

McCrory is the 10th player to re-commit to Albion after finishing runners-up to Fleetwood Town in the promotion play-off final at Wembley, with Robbie Weir among those agreeing to stay.
