Brewers snap up National League hotshot Shade | OneFootball

Burton Albion have secured the signing of forward Tyrese Shade from Eastleigh.

The 25-year-old leaves Silverlake Stadium following a standout debut season in the National League, where he registered 14 goals and 8 assists - rapidly emerging as one of the league’s most potent attacking forces.

After growing interest over the summer, Eastleigh reluctantly accepted an offer earlier this week. Shade was then granted permission to discuss personal terms with Burton, and the move was formally confirmed by the Brewers on Tuesday.

Shade has penned a two-year deal with the club, with an option for a third season also included.

Speaking after the move, Burton head coach Gary Bowyer said:

“A huge thank you to the owners for enabling us to complete the exciting capture of Ty.

"Ty comes to us on the back of a great season scoring all types of goals and we know he will excite our fans.

"He brings pace and power to our front line and we look forward to working with him.”

While the fee remains officially undisclosed, the transfer represents the most lucrative in Eastleigh’s history.

The move comes shortly after Burton sanctioned the sale of last season’s top scorer, Rumarn Burrell, to QPR for a fee reportedly in the region of £1 million.
