Burton Albion have signed defender Joe Lewis on a one-year contract.

The 26-year-old left AFC Wimbledon at the end of last season.

He made 121 appearances in all competitions for the Dons, scoring nine goals and helping them win promotion from League Two via the play-offs in the 2024-25 campaign.

Lewis began his career with Swansea City but failed to make a first-team appearance before having spells with Torquay United and Stockport County.

He could make his Brewers debut against AFC Wimbledon when they meet at the Pirelli Stadium on Wednesday, 2 September (19:45 BST).
