If Dennis were to make the jump he would be moving up a league into League One however with Burton Albion sitting in the relegation zone of League One at the moment there could be a potential that he ends up back in League Two just 6 months later. Time will tell whether the move happens but it'll certainly be one that raises eyebrows if it does go through.
