Burton Albion have confirmed the sale of striker Billy Kee to League One side Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee.
The Brewers have revealed that they agreed a fee for Kee last week and the player has now agreed personal terms to bring to an end his three-year spell at the Pirelli Stadium.
Loughborough-born Kee scored 42 goals in 117 appearances after joining from Torquay United.
He had not made a start this season after getting an injury in the play-off semi-final second leg at Southend United last season but he had been effective coming off the bench and his parting gift to Burton was a two-goal salvo on Saturday to help the team beat Dagenham & Redbridge 2-1.
Burton manager Gary Rowett said the club could not stand in his way:
"Billy was desperate for a new challenge and he's fiercely ambitious," said Rowett.
"I don't want to stand in his way, as it's a fantastic opportunity for him to play in League One.
"We don't want to lose our best players but at the same time we have to assess the situation. He's got one year left on his contract and he was keen to talk to them and make the move happen.
"We'll miss his goals but it's a fantastic offer for both clubs.
"Sometimes, you can't stand in someone's way and you've just got to shake their hand, wish them all the best and hope it works out.
"I've reluctantly allowed Billy to go and we'd like to really thank him for his efforts."
