Yeovil Town have boosted their frontline with the signing of young Burton Albion striker Millar Matthews-Lewis on loan from League One side Burton Albion.
The 21-year-old forward joined the Brewers from Hemel Hempstead Town last month having bagged 12 goals in 26 National League South games this season. He was part of the side which put the Glovers out of the FA Cup in the fourth qualifying round earlier this season.
Glovers’ boss Billy Rowley told the club’s website: “Millar is a player I’ve followed for a couple of seasons. He’s got a great scoring record wherever he’s been. He’s a striker who can drop in and link the play, but also has intelligent movement in the box. We’re delighted to have him with us.”
His arrival follows the decision to allow striker Tahvon Campbell to join Brackley Town on loan for the remainder of the campaign earlier this week, and brings a long-awaited boost to the attacking options ahead of the trip to Boston United on Saturday.
Having started his career in the academy at Luton Town, Matthews-Lewis joined Farnborough Town initially on loan before making the move permanent. He joined Hemel at the start of the current campaign where his scoring form earned him a move to the EFL.
Burton Sporting Director Richard Dorman said: “Since joining Burton, Millar has shown real promise as he has adapted to a full-time training environment. This move provides him with an excellent opportunity to gain valuable first team experience at a higher level than Hemel Hempstead as he continues his development towards our first team. We wish him every success during his time at Yeovil.”
