Swindon Town have signed midfielder Saidou Khan from National League side Chesterfield.
The 26-year-old made 37 appearances for Chesterfield last season, scoring six goals, and has activated a release clause in his contract.
Khan began his career in non-league football and joined Maidstone in 2019, before enjoying a spell on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge two years later.
"I'm lost for words to be here and really excited to get going," he said.
"I've gone quite a long route in my footballing career to get to this stage, but I feel ready to perform and give my all for this great club."
Burton Albion have re-signed midfielder Calum Butcher from Dundee United on a two-year contract.
The 31-year-old had two years remaining on his deal, but was released to join Burton on a free transfer.
Butcher played the last of his 134 games for the Scottish side in March, having not been selected after April because of "a private matter".
Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Butcher would need "a bit of time to get fully fit" after training alone.
"He's quite explosive and is going to have to go through the pain to get himself ready, but we're quietly confident that he will do that quickly," Hasselbaink continued.
It is the second time Hasselbaink has brought Butcher to Burton from Dundee United, with the Dutchman recruiting the midfielder in his first spell at the Pirelli Stadium in the summer of 2015.
In his solitary season with the Brewers, the former Tottenham trainee helped the club to promotion to the Championship before leaving for Millwall.
Butcher, who went on to feature for Mansfield Town before joining Dundee United for a second spell in 2019, said the move back to Burton "worked out really well for me".
"When you move to a new club you want to hit the ground running and this allows me to do that," he told Burton's website.
"It's great to see some familiar faces. Working under the gaffer before, I know what he's about and we had a discussion, and it just felt right."
