Josh Cullen signs new three-year deal with Burnley

Burnley midfielder Josh Cullen has committed his immediate future to the club by signing a new three-year contract.

The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international is the third man to agree a long-term deal with the promoted club this summer, following in the footsteps of Anass Zaroury and Manuel Benson.

Cullen, who followed manager Vincent Kompany from Anderlecht to Burnley, made 50 appearances in all competitions last season and was named the Clarets' player of the year and players’ player of the year at the end of his first campaign.

He told the club’s official website: "I’m really happy to extend my time here, especially off the back of last year which was a really successful year for the club. I can’t wait to continue my career with Burnley.

"It will be great to get back to Turf Moor this weekend and be in front of the fans again and hopefully get our first three points on the board."

Cullen has made 26 appearances for Ireland since making his senior debut under Mick McCarthy in a 3-1 friendly win over Bulgaria in September 2019. The Burnley player has since established himself as a first choice player under Stephen Kenny, winning the senior men's player of the year award in November 2022.
