Notts County have confirmed that forward Dennis has completed a move to Burton Albion, with the transfer finalized on July 8, 2026. The 24‑year‑old striker leaves Meadow Lane after two seasons, seeking regular starts at the League Two side.

What are the terms of the move?

Burton Albion announced a three‑year contract for Dennis, though the fee remains undisclosed. County’s manager, John McGreal, confirmed the deal was mutually beneficial, noting the player’s desire for more game time. The forward had scored five goals in 18 appearances this season, contributing to County’s recent 3‑0 win over Salford City on May 25, 2026.

How does this affect Notts County’s squad?

Losing Dennis trims County’s attacking options, but the club still boasts a potent offense, having netted 74 goals while conceding 52 this campaign. They sit 5th in England League Two with 80 points, a record of 24W‑8D‑14L from 46 games, and sit 7 points behind leaders Bromley. Recent form shows a 3W‑2D‑0L run, highlighted by a two‑game winning streak.

What does Burton gain?

Burton adds a versatile forward capable of playing across the front line. Manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink praised Dennis’s work rate, expecting him to complement striker James Vaughan. The Brewers sit mid‑table, and the signing signals intent to push for a top‑four finish.

What’s next for Notts County?

County will look to replace Dennis, likely turning to academy prospect Liam O'Connor or exploring the loan market. With the season entering its final stretch, the club aims to maintain its unbeaten run and close the gap on Bromley. Fans will watch the upcoming fixtures closely, hoping the squad can sustain its momentum without the departing striker.
