Australian midfielder Aiden O’Neill has joined Robbie Fowler’s Brisbane Roar on a season-long loan down under.
O-Neill, who has signed a new one-year contract at Turf Moor, with an option for a further year, joins his hometown club after spending last season on loan in Australia with the Central Coast Mariners.
The 20-year-old, who made his Premier League debut for Burnley back in 2016 and has made five first team appearances for the Clarets, has also enjoyed loan spells with Oldham Athletic and Fleetwood Town in recent years.
And the former Brisbane Boys College student told his new loan club he is excited by the new opportunity to be heading ‘home’.
