Burton have signed Luxembourg international striker Aurelien Joachim.

Joachim becomes the 11th new arrival at the Pirelli Stadium this summer, putting pen to paper on a one-year contract with the Sky Bet League 1 newcomers.

Brewers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: "He will bring goals, hopefully. He's got some real experience and he plays for the Luxembourg national team. He's got several caps behind his career from that.

"We expect him to lead the front line when he plays and challenge our strikers for a place. He'll be available for Saturday."

Joachim, who has more than 50 caps for his country, scoring six goals, was impressed by the set up at Burton and does not think he will have any trouble fitting in.

"I was here a week ago. My first impressions of the training pitch and everything else was really really good. The way we train is great. It is a nice club," said the 28-year-old.

"I think Hasselbaink is a great coach. When you see the training it is very hard but you gave to train hard to succeed. He is a great coach.
