Defender Delap agrees new two-year Burton contract

Finn Delap made his league debut for Burton in February 2024

Burton Albion defender Finn Delap has agreed to stay at the League One club after signing a new two-year contract.

Delap, 20, was among seven squad members to be offered fresh terms this summer and has committed his future to the Brewers until at least 2027.

Having signed his first professional deal in February 2023, Delap - younger brother of Chelsea forward Liam - broke into the first team under Gary Bowyer last season and played in five of Burton's final six games as they narrowly avoided relegation.

"I'm delighted Finn has signed a new deal, he's got a good attitude and he showed in the games at the end of the season that he has potential," Bowyer told the club website.

"Now he has to kick on next year and work even harder to break into the team permanently."
