Republic of Ireland international Dara O'Shea speaks after completing a move to Burnley from West Bromwich Albion!
Press Release:
Burnley Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Republic of Ireland international Dara O'Shea from West Bromwich Albion.
O'Shea joins the club on a four-year deal - keeping him at Turf Moor until at least 2027.
The Dublin-born defender played over a hundred times for the Baggies, including their 2020/21 season in the Premier League.
On signing for the club O'Shea said: “It feels great to be here and I really can't wait to get going.
"Burnley were the outstanding team last season and they achieved exceptional things.
"I want to improve as a player first and foremost and I want to help the club achieve their goals.
"I'm at the stage of my career now when I want to push myself. I want to be the best I can be, and this is the club that can help me do that and I can help them too.”
Manager Vincent Kompany added: "It's great to welcome Dara to Burnley and we know he can play a big part in the progression of our football club. Strong at the back as well as confident moving forward, a leader with experience and knowledge of playing at the highest level.
"Dara will be a great addition to our squad and we can't wait to start working with him.”
He becomes the second defender to join the Clarets on a permanent basis this summer after Jordan Beyer put pen to paper last month.
Burnley take on Manchester City in the Premier League's opening match of the season on Friday 11th August.
