The 23-year-old registered six goals and seven assists last season, helping the Brewers to a ninth-place finish in League One.

And he signed off his career at the Pirelli Stadium with a superb strike in Burton’s 2-1 pre-season victory over Premier League side Sheffield United on Tuesday.

Harness is a capture that has left large sections of the Fratton faithful purring.

In Pompey’s 2-1 win at the Brewers in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Easter Friday, he was the hosts’ chief attacking threat and caused Kenny Jackett’s men all sorts of problems.
