Former Waterford FC goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux joins Premier League side Burnley

Burnley have signed former Waterford FC goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux on a free transfer on a three-year deal.

Vigouroux, 29, has been Leyron Orient's first-choice in the last three seasons and was a key part of their promotion as League Two champions with the least goals conceded (34) in the fourth tier.

The English goalkeeper spent half of the 2018 Premier Division season on loan with the Blues.

"We are looking forward to Lawrence being part of what we are building here at Burnley," manager Vincent Kompany said.

"He has come through top academy systems to become the player he is today with standout performances in recent years. He is a very talented goalkeeper with a good personality and someone we will enjoy working with."

The Championship winners signed Republic of Ireland defender Dara O'Shea from second-tier side West Bromwich Albion last Friday in a bid to bolster their squad for their Premier League return.

"It's amazing to be here," Vigouroux told the Burnley website. "An unbelievable training ground to be a part of and I'm really happy."
