Burnley sign Bardsley from Stoke

Experienced defender Phil Bardsley has joined Burnley for an undisclosed fee, returning to the club where he spent six months on loan in 2006.

The Scotland international told the Burnley club website: “I’ve had different spells and different clubs since then and I’m delighted to be back.” 

“It’s a club that’s going in the right direction with a fantastic manager and a great group of players which I’m looking forward to being part of."

“It’s a well-knitted group which did fantastically well last year and hopefully I can bring something to the squad."

“There’s still fire in the belly to achieve things in football and what a great chance. Coming back here and playing again at Turf Moor is going to be a great challenge and one I’m looking forward to."

“All the fundamentals are here, with the new training ground, the manager looking to kick on with the club and the players he’s brought in are very good players."

“I played with Jonny Walters and the brief chat I had with him, he couldn’t speak highly enough of the place."

Bardsley becomes Sean Dyche's fourth signing of the summer.
