Burton Albion have signed striker Dale Taylor from Premier League club Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old, who came through Forest's youth ranks, made his senior debut coming off the bench in their 3-0 Carabao Cup win at Grimsby Town earlier this season.
"We watched him a lot at Forest Under-23's and he always stood out - he fits the way we like to play," Brewers boss Dino Maamria told the club website.
"We believe he can add that threat going forward and can be a good addition for us."
Taylor made his senior debut for Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier in 2021.
"It's going to be tough and senior football will be different but hopefully I can keep up the scoring this season," he said.
"Playing in League One is a great opportunity to gain experience of men's football and I can't wait to get started."
Burton Albion are in the League One relegation zone and travel to Lincoln City on Saturday.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
