Sarkic said: "I'm really impatient to make my mark on English football. Injuries and other circumstances mean I have been quite unfortunate in the last year and a half but now I'm ready to show what I can do."

Brewers boss Nigel Clough added: "He has had a rough 18 months or so and he’s looking to rebuild his career a little bit.

“He has had offers from abroad, but he wants to stay in England, and he’s enjoyed his few days with us."
