Defender David Edgar joined the Clarets from Newcastle United on a four-year deal in July 2009 and in January 2012 was granted a 12-month contract extension after impressing under manager Eddie Howe.

A transfer tribunal instructed Burnley to pay an initial fee of £300,000 for the Canada international.

A further six-figure fee will be payable based on appearances with Newcastle also entitled to a sell-on fee for any future move.

Edgar made just six appearances in his first season as a Claret, although one of his two Premier League starts was an impressive league debut at Manchester United.

He was then loaned out to Swansea City where he scored once in five games in the final few weeks of the season as the Swans just missed out on a place in the Championship play-offs.

Edgar started his career in the youth system at Newcastle, where his father Eddie had enjoyed a brief spell as a goalkeeper before moving to Canada.

Edgar, an impressive ice hockey player in his youth, went on to make 23 first-team appearances for the Magpies, including 11 starts in the Premier League, and marked his home debut with an equalising goal against Manchester United on New Year's Day, 2007.

Limited to just a handful of appearances for the Clarets in 2010/11 a proposed loan move back to Swansea was scuppered by red tape as Edgar remained in Howe's squad.

He then became a regular under Howe from the start of the 2011/12 season, scoring his first two goals for the Clarets in a comeback win at Hull City in November, 2011.

Edgar received his first call-up to the full Canadian national side in 2010, but actually made his senior debut on 9th February 2011, appearing as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 defeat to Greece.
