Burnley have signed Matt Taylor on a two-year deal and Marvin Sordell from Bolton for an undisclosed fee.

Taylor arrives on a free transfer after reaching the end of his contract with West Ham United. 

The 32-year-old spent three years with Bolton in the Premier League between 2008 and 2011. 

Former England U21 international Sordell has signed a three-year deal for a fee believed to be in the region of £500,000, having spent the second half of last season helping Charlton battle their way to Championship survival during a loan spell. 

Manager Sean Dyche has been busy reshaping his squad in preparation for the new Premier League season, having already landed winger Michael Kightly from Stoke City and goalkeeper Matthew Gilks on a free transfer from Blackpool.
