Keeper returns to Peru after finding opportunities limited

Burnley goalkeeper Diego Penny has returned to Peru after finding his opportunities limited at Turf Moor. The shot-stopper switched two years ago from Peruvian outfit Coronel Bologensi but was unable to dislodge Brian Jensen as the Clarets' No.1. The Peru international made just four appearances for the club and has now had his contract terminated by mutual consent as he bids to resurrect his career in his homeland. The 26-year-old told the club's official website: "I will never forget Burnley because it was a great step up for me. "I am sad I didn't play more times. I think in football the most important thing is playing regularly but I tried to do my best every single day and Brian has been outstanding during my time with the club. "It didn't happen for me but I do think I pushed Brian to be the best he could and Burnley have benefited from that."
