STOKE-ON-TRENT born John Brayford has signed a new contract as Burton Albion first team coach and also been awarded a testimonial.

Brayford, who hails from Hartshill, has agreed fresh terms to remain as part of Gary Bowyer’s backroom team as the Brewers prepare for the new League One season.

And to honour his commitment to the club, former defender Brayford, who played 316 games for Burton, will also have his contribution celebrated.

A testimonial has been arranged for Tuesday, July 22 against one of his old clubs, Sheffield United.

Speaking about his new deal, Brayford told the club: “I’m very happy to be continuing my journey with Burton as a member of the first-team coaching staff, a club that has truly become my home ever since I returned.
