McCann was appointed club captain in August 2011.

McCann who joined Burnley at the age of 16 has worked his way through the ranks, making his first senior debut as a substitute on 13th August 2005, and scoring his first goal for the clarets against Ipswich a month later.

Even though over the past few seasons he hasn't played as much as he would have liked due to injury, he is now part of the spine of the club as well as being captain.

McCann will be hoping to put a two-year injury nightmare behind him after ending speculation over his Turf Moor future by signing a new two-year deal in June 2011.

The highly regarded midfielder suffered a massively frustrating couple of campaigns with two serious knee injuries, the first coming early in the club's Premier League campaign.
McCann started the first six games of the campaign before a knee injury sustained in September all but ended his season.

The former Clarets' junior made a brief comeback in January but a further knee problem meant surgery and a further spell on the sidelines with his absence badly hitting Burnley's survival bid.
He then missed most of Burnley's Championship return with a repeat of the knee injury sustained in Singapore in pre-season, but made a welcome comeback with a goal-scoring return at Derby in April 2011.

The young Irishman had been a key figure when Burnley clinched promotion in 2009, scoring eight times in 58 appearances during the season and winning the club's Young Player of the Year award for the third season running.
