Burton Albion have signed striker Danilo Orsi from Crawley Town on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

The Brewers host Lincoln City at the Pirelli Stadium on the opening day of the season, while Crawley's first match in League One since 2015 will be at home to Blackpool.
"I love scoring goals, being in and around the box and getting on the end of things. I love to work hard for the team, running, pressing, high-energy, giving 110% every week and just enjoying playing my football," Orsi told Burton's website., external
Much of Orsi's career has been spent playing non-league football at the likes of Hungerford Town, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Maidenhead United before he moved to Harrogate Town in 2021.
A short loan spell at Boreham Wood was followed by a season at Grimsby Town, before he moved to Crawley last summer.
