Daniel Takes Pay Cut
Daniel has signed a new one-year deal with the League One side. Having joined the Brewers 18-months ago from Peterborough United, the left-back has made 49 appearances for the Brewers.
Not only has the 32-year-old penned a new deal, but he has agreed to take a pay cut to help the club as they fight the financial battles caused as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Daniel’s extension follows the news that Steven Lawless and Charles Vernam have joined Jake Buxton’s squad ahead of next season.
What Was Said
Speaking to the clubs’ official website, he said: “I am buzzing to be staying at the club and cannot wait for the football to get back started.
“It’s been a tough number of months without football, but I’m really excited to get back playing and working under the new manager.”
Manager Jake Buxton, who replaced Nigel Clough after he left during lockdown, added: “We’re happy that Colin has signed a new deal and I think it shows to everyone that a lot of players want to stay and play their football here.
“His Football League experience speaks for itself and since arriving, his availability for selection has been brilliant, chipping in with a number of assists.
“He’s another player that we can utilise in a number of positions and I back myself to get the best out of him. It’s great to have him back!”
