Burnley sign defender Phil Bardsley from Stoke for undisclosed fee

Burnley have signed defender Phil Bardsley from Stoke for an undisclosed fee.

The 32-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and becomes the fourth new arrival for the Clarets this summer, following former Stoke teammate Jonathan Walters to Turf Moor.

The moves means a return to the club where Bardsley spent a month on loan in the Championship in 2006.

He told Burnley's website: "I've had different spells and different clubs since then and I'm delighted to be back.

"It's a club that's going in the right direction with a fantastic manager and a great group of players which I'm looking forward to being part of.
