Clarets keep Gray
Burnley have signed Sunderland striker Andy Gray in a deal worth £800,000.
Burnley have completed the signing of striker Andy Gray in a deal worth £800,000 from Championship rivals Sunderland.The former Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Bradford City and Sheffield United hit-man leaves The Stadium of Light after failing to establish himself with The Black Cats last season.
The 28-year-old finished this past season with The Clarets after initially joining on loan back in March and Turf Moor boss Steve Cotterill has been able to turn his move into a permanent arrangement.
The Scottish international has signed a three-year deal with the Lancashire outfit, taking him through to the summer of 2009.
"He would have been a summer target anyhow, but we were fortunate to get him on loan first and he was like a new signing to us last season," Cotterill told Burnley's official website.
"Having him at Turf Moor for those two months helped him to bed in ahead of next season and with the additions of Alan Mahon and, when the contract restrictions are lifted next month, Steve Jones, we are absolutely delighted at our three acquisitions."
