Burton Albion have signed Walsall forward Ashley Hemmings on a loan deal to run until 27 April.

The 23-year-old began his career at Wolves, and had loan spells at Cheltenham, Torquay and Plymouth before moving to Walsall in 2012.

He has made 32 starts for the Saddlers this season, scoring four goals.

Burton manager Gary Rowett said: "Ashley's pace and trickery brings us a different option and we think he'll be a good addition."

The Brewers currently lie fifth in League Two, six points off an automatic promotion place, but with a game in hand on Chesterfield in third.
