Pieters: It's Great To Be Back

Erik Pieters is delighted to be back in the Premier League after joining the Clarets.

The Dutch international has become Burnley’s first summer signing after agreeing an initial two-year deal at Turf Moor, with the option of a further 12 months

Pieters made 169 top-flight appearances during a six-year stay at Stoke City.

And following the Potters’ relegation in 2018 – and a taste of top tier French football on loan last season at Amiens – the vastly experienced defender jumped at the chance to revive his career among the elite of English football with Sean Dyche’s men.
