Luke Varney: Ipswich Town forward joins Burton Albion after contract cancelled

Luke Varney scored three goals in 15 games for Ipswich this season

Burton Albion have signed forward Luke Varney from Championship rivals Ipswich Town on an 18-month deal, after Mick McCarthy's side agreed to cancel the remainder of his contract.

Varney signed for the Tractor Boys on a short-term contract in August, with his deal due to expire on 12 January.

The 34-year-old could play in Burton's FA Cup tie at Watford on Saturday.

"He's a good, experienced Championship player," Brewers boss Nigel Clough told BBC Radio Derby.

"He's had a couple of knocks and injuries and things, but I don't think he's got anything to prove in the Championship."

Burton are 21st in the Championship table, one point above the relegation zone.
