Burton Albion new boy Callum Riley has expressed his eagerness for the start of the new season.

21-year-old Reilly put pen to paper yesterday on a two-year-deal at the Brewers following his release from Birmingham City.

“I can’t wait for it and I can’t wait for the season to start.” He told the club’s website. I was looking forward to getting it done and now I want to get the games going.” 

Reilly spent time on-loan at Pirelli Stadium earlier this year, but his stay in Staffordshire was hit by injury. The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international made one substitute appearance and played just twenty minutes of his first start before suffering a hamstring injury.

The midfielder however is looking forward to rejoining the squad: “I know it was a limited experience I had here due to injury but the coaching staff and all the lads here are brilliant.”
