Aaron Lennon shares message with Burnley supporters ahead of his departure

Aaron Lennon has taken to Twitter to share a message with Burnley’s supporters ahead of his upcoming departure from the club.

As confirmed by the Clarets’ official website, Lennon will become a free-agent when his current contract expires at the end of June after the club opted against offering him fresh-terms.

The winger is one of 14 senior players who Burnley have decided to part ways with following their relegation to the Championship.

The Clarets will now need to make a host of signings in the coming months in order to bolster their chances of achieving a relative amount of success in the second-tier later this year.

Lennon re-joined Burnley on a free transfer last year following a spell with Turkish outfit Kayserispor.

During his second spell at the club, the winger made 28 appearances in the Premier League.

The 35-year-old only managed to show glimpses of his talent at this level as he scored twice for the Clarets.

After the club announced that Lennon would be leaving, the former Everton man took to Twitter to reflect on his time at Turf Moor.

Lennon posted: “It’s been a pleasure once again, thank you to everyone at Burnley FC.

“I wish all associated at Burnley all the very best.

“Great club, enjoyed my time there!

“Looking forward to my next mission, ready to go again!”
