Burton Albion have signed Minnesota United midfielder Alejandro Bran on a season-long loan with an option to buy.

The 23-year-old joined Minnesota on loan from Costa Rican side Herediano in January, making 11 appearances in the MSL before the US club purchased his contract in September.

"Alejandro is a talented player with experience in the MLS, and we're confident that his skills and versatility will be a great addition to our squad," Burton Albion's co-owner Bendik Hareide said.

The Costa Rica international is Burton's 23rd signing of the season.
