Burnley have taken Northern Ireland U21 defender Luke Conlan back to Turf Moor on a one-year contract.

The 19-year-old was released by the Clarets in the summer but has recovered from a persistent knee problem and earned a return to the Premier League new-boys.

He told the Burnley website: "I'm very happy to be back at the club, I know a lot of the lads from the last few years and this is where I want to be at.

"I want to progress now with Burnley again and hopefully kick on in the next year.

"I had a few other offers from clubs who wanted me to go on trial but as soon as the opportunity came up here to get another contract it was what I wanted to do."

Elsewhere in the Burnley development squad, youngsters Tom Anderson, Steven Hewitt, Cameron Howieson and Jason Gilchrist have all signed contract extensions.
