Burton have announced the signing of Sheffield United defender John Brayford on a season-long loan deal.
The 28-year-old full-back returns to the Brewers eight years after leaving for Crewe.
Brayford went on to play for Derby and Cardiff before joining the Blades permanently in January 2015.
He has played every minute of the League One club's four games this season.
Burton boss Nigel Clough, manager when Brayford was last at the club, told the Brewers' website: "When we heard John was available it was a no-brainer to sign him.

"He can cover us anywhere along the back three and the wing-back positions as well so that's the main reason we've brought him in and he's a good experienced Championship player."
Brayford added: "It's been 10 years since I played here but they've still got the foundations of a great club and it's nice to be back.
"The rise has been incredible and I don't think there's been another team that has done something on the same level."
