(about 1 hour later) | |
Burnley have announced the double signing of the striker Marvin Sordell from Bolton Wanderers and the former West Ham midfielder Matt Taylor. | |
Sordell has made his switch for an undisclosed fee, the 23-year-old agreeing a deal that could keep him at Turf Moor until 2017. He spent last season on loan from Bolton at Charlton Athletic, for whom he scored eight goals, and has been capped 14 times for England Under-21s. Sordell previously worked under Sean Dyche, the Burnley manager, at Watford, the club with whom he made his Football League debut. | |
Taylor, 32, has agreed a two-year deal with the Clarets after his West Ham contract came to an end this summer. He is another former Bolton player. | |
Sordell and Taylor are the second and third arrivals this week for Burnley after they announced on Wednesday that the former Blackpool goalkeeper Matt Gilks had joined them. Michael Kightly, who had been on loan at Turf Moor from Stoke City last season, has also made his move permanent. | |
Burnley are preparing for their return to the Premier League after clinching promotion from the Championship in April. | Burnley are preparing for their return to the Premier League after clinching promotion from the Championship in April. |
