After parting company with Swansea City this week, the 34-year-old has accepted the chance to return to Turf Moor, becoming Ternent's second capture on deadline day following the arrival of Dele Adebola from Coventry City.
Johnrose first signed for Burnley back in 1999 and re-signed in 2002 after initially being released.
