The midfielder has joined a fellow League One club on loan

MK Dons midfielder Will Collar has joined Burton Albion on loan, becoming the second player to depart Stadium MK in 24 hours.

The 29-year-old was a regular feature in Paul Warne’s side in the first-half of last season after his move from Stockport County, prior to a hamstring injury picked up on Boxing Day, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

Following Player of the Year Liam Kelly’s exit yesterday (Thursday) to Peterborough for an undisclosed fee, Collar is the second player to leave ahead of the League One curtain raiser on Saturday against Oxford.

Burton head coach Gary Bowyer said: “We’re delighted to get Will in the building, he’s another player who will be a great role model for our young squad.

“He’s a good character and his CV shows that he knows how to win. We look forward to working with him and he will be a great asset for us over the course of this season.”

Richard Dorman, the Brewers’ sporting director added: “Will is a player who has been in high demand this window, so we are delighted to have brought him in on loan. He is a creative player who is already proven at this level, and we hope that his experiences will help to benefit our squad.”
