Great Scott!

Academy graduate Scott Wilson has signed his first professional contract at Turf Moor.

Wilson, who has been with the Clarets since 2013, has signed a 12-month deal with the option of a further year.

The defender, 19, has earned an extended stay after completing a three-year scholarship.

The left-sided centre-back was kept on as a scholar last summer and now progresses to the professional ranks after an impressive season in the Under-23s.

Local lad Wilson, who comes from Lango, also spent a productive spell on work experience at Stalybridge Celtic at the start last season, enjoying a run of first-team games at left-back with the Evo Stik Premier League side.
