Conor Shaughnessy did not take up an option to extend his Rochdale contract

Burton Albion will re-sign midfielder Conor Shaughnessy on a two-year deal following the expiry of his current contract at Rochdale.

The 24-year-old had a successful loan stay at the Pirelli Stadium in 2019-20, scoring twice in 18 appearances before returning to then-parent club Leeds.

Shaughnessy, who came through Reading's academy, has played 70 career games.

"Conor will bring stability," Brewers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said.

"He already knows the club really well having been here before.

"He can play in two or three places and brings further competition in those areas. He also brings experience of the league and we expect a lot from him."
