Burnley Football Club is delighted to have secured the signing of young defender Joel Senior.
The right-back, 19, has joined the Clarets on an initial 12-month deal, with a further year’s option, from National League North side Curzon Ashton – Burnley’s home in the U23 Professional Development League.
Senior earned a contract at Turf Moor after impressing during a spell training with the Under-23s and featuring in the Clarets’ match-day squad for the final of the Lancashire FA Senior Cup earlier this month.
The Manchester-born defender will be part of Steve Stone’s plans at Under-23 level next season and returns to the professional game after starting out as a youngster at Oldham Athletic.
