He is a goal threat, and we need more of that and hopefully we can get him going really quickly as we know he is a very good player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He had a knee injury a while ago but that is fully behind him now. He wasn\u2019t attached to a club, but he\u2019s getting in love with football again and we want to help him get back to his best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rowe himself added: &#8220;I\u2019m delighted to be signing for Burton Albion and I\u2019m really excited to get going.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve been out since the summer, so it\u2019s great to be in regular training again and to be around the lads.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m feeling good, fitness-wise. Training here is intense and I feel it is really benefiting me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Helping New Team to Important Win<\/h3>\n<p>After a slow start to the season under Jake Buxton, Burton found themselves with a lot of ground to make up under the returning Hasselbaink.<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, the gap between themselves and survival has been cut massively following a 2-0 win away at fellow strugglers Northampton.<\/p>\n<p>The Brewers are just three points behind 19th-placed AFC Wimbledon and four behind Rochdale with two games in hand on Swindon Town and one on some of the other teams in the relegation mix.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe came on to make his debut in the important win at Sixfields in which goals from Michael Bostwick and Ryan Edwards secured the all-important points.<\/p>\n<p>Burton face another tough test in their next game when <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/sunderland\/\" target=\"_self\">Sunderland<\/a> visit the Pirelli Stadium, but with three wins in their last four games, they will be full of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"e9calnsyQ1Vu8MURjTGE8g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/837808134\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'e9calnsyQ1Vu8MURjTGE8g',sig:'UdrY9uIHf4svxOBAC9ucLNDldhyzHbJcrhDdznaPnjk=',w:'594px',h:'465px',items:'837808134',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Burton Albion have completed the signing of former Ipswich Town winger Danny Rowe on a free transfer until the end of the season.
