The Australian is now in great form at Burton Albion.
Burton’s Jackson Irvine celebrates scoring their first goal
Burton Albion have certainly not struggled in their first season in the Championship.
The Brewers have looked to be able to compete at this level, with one of the major successes of the team being summer signing Jackson Irvine.

The Australian scored against Derby County yesterday, his third goal in as many Championship games.
The long-haired 23-year-old has been brilliant for his new team, leaving some Celtic fans perplexed.
Irvine was snapped up by Celtic in 2010 as a teenager from Melbourne Victory and even went on to play one game for the club. He came on as a half-time substitute against Hibernian in September 2012, but did not feature for the first-team again.
Jackson Irvine – Celtic celebrates his goal
Last summer he joined Ross County, turning a loan move from Celtic permanent, and it was a deal that paid off for the player.
That has led to a move to Burton and Irvine has now been in great form for his new club.

Celtic fans will no doubt be wondering why Irvine was not given a chance to thrive at Parkhead.
He looks like pushing on to become a real force in the Championship which would suggest he could have been a hit in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic – if he had got the chance.
