Matt Lowton signs new Burnley contract
Tuesday 4 April 2017 12:48, UK
Burnley defender Matt Lowton has agreed a new deal which will keep him with the Clarets until the summer of 2020.
The former Aston Villa full-back had just over 12 months remaining on his previous deal, but was thrilled to commit his immediate future to the club.
"I'm delighted to extend my stay here," he told Burnley's official website. "I had a year left but, when the club and the manager approached me about a new deal, it was a no-brainer for me.
"I've enjoyed every minute of my time at Burnley and want to hopefully play my part in keeping the club in the Premier League and beyond.
"I feel like I'm really enjoying my football at the moment and probably playing as well I have at any time in my career.
"Much of that is down to the lads in the team, because everyone here works so hard for each other and that's been the secret to our success.
"The club is on the up and you can see that on the pitch and also behind the scenes, like the new training ground, which is just about as good as it gets.
"I experienced a good set-up at Aston Villa but this is Premier League quality and we are looking forward to that helping us take things forward."
Lowton was manager Sean Dyche's first summer signing in 2015, and recently made his 50th appearance for the club. He has registered 100 Premier League appearances.
