Max Crocombe and Mason Bennett: Burton Albion sign goalkeeper and forward

League One club Burton Albion have signed goalkeeper Max Crocombe and forward Mason Bennett.

Both New Zealand international Crocombe and Bennett have agreed two-year deals after being released by Grimsby Town and Millwall respectively.

Crocombe, 29, made 89 appearances during two years with the Mariners.

Bennett, 26, spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Lions, scoring 11 times in 103 outings after joining from Derby County.

He had a loan spell with Burton in the second half of the 2015-16 campaign, finding the back of the net once in 16 games to help the Brewers win promotion to the Championship.

"I have fond memories here and there's great people around the club," Bennett told the club website.

"It's nice to be closer to home again. The main thing is to play games and enjoy football again."

Crocombe, meanwhile, has previously had spells with Oxford United, Carlisle United, Salford City, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory.

During his time at Oxford he also spent time on loan at Nuneaton, Barnet and Southport.

"I've worked with Max before when I was at Southport when he was a young goalie," Burton boss Dino Maamria told the club website.

"He showed huge potential back then and he's gone on to be an international goalkeeper. I think he fits in really well with what we're trying to do as a club."
