Clarets Trust were delighted to learn recently that our sponsored youth player last season, Archie Love has been offered his first professional contract with the club. He has agreed a one-year deal along with five other young guns from our successful youth team last season.
Archie joins Jack Errington, Adam Evans, Tom Anderson, Alex Coleman and Aryn Williams (younger brother of former Burnley loanee Rhys Williams) on the list of our new professionals!
The actual number of new professionals next season will number a grand total of nine with Steven Hewitt, Cameron Howieson and Luke Conlan earning two-year deals last month!
Well done, Archie (and all the boys) and here’s hoping you make your debut for the first team next season and in time become a regular choice! |

Clarets Trust were delighted to present Kieran Trippier with their Player of the Year Award at the Supporters Clubs POTY Awards Evening last Tuesday night.
Trust members and Trust website users were asked to vote for their Player of the Year from a shortlist of players and when the postal and online results were collated, Kieran was the winner by some margin.
We are of course additionally delighted that Kieran won since he was also our sponsored player for the season. The Trust decided to sponsor the player even though initially he was not a permanent signing having arrived on a season-long loan from Manchester City last summer. He soon made an impact in the team though and rapidly became a fans favourite. All Clarets fans including of course the Trust were delighted when Eddie Howe managed to seal a permanent deal for the player in the January window.
It was not just the Trust who chose Kieran as their Player of the Year. Indeed he picked up four awards on the night from various supporters clubs, just pipping Jay Rodriguez to become the overall Supporters Clubs Player of the Year.
Congratulations therefore once again to Kieran for such a great achievement in his first season for the Clarets.
The picture above shows Kieran receiving his award from our latest Trust member, Sam Thompson. Sam is also a student at the club's prestigious UCFB |
