Burnley defender Matt Lowton signs two-year contract extension at Turf Moor to extend deal until June 2020

Burnley defender Matt Lowton has signed a new contract to stay at Turf Moor until the summer of 2020.

The ex-Aston Villa full-back, who had 12 months left on his existing deal, recently chalked up his 50th appearance for the Clarets and 100th in the Premier League.

After signing his new two-year deal, the 27-year-old said: 'I'm delighted to extend my stay here. I had a year left, but when the club and the manager approached me about a new deal it was a no-brainer for me.
