Burnley completed the signing of Steven Caldwell from Sunderland, minutes before the transfer deadline in January 2007.
The centre-back signed a three-and-a-half year deal at Turf Moor for an initial £200,000. A further £200,000 will be payable to Sunderland at a later date.
The 2008/09 season saw Caldwell play a major role, captaining his side to promotion to the Premier League.
Making 57 starts throughout the season, the Scottish international was a virtual ever-present in the Clarets back-line.
His only two goals of the campaign came at home to local rivals Preston in Septemer 2008 and away at Plymouth in March 2009.
Caldwell, 26, who captained Sunderland, moved to the Stadium of Light from first club Newcastle United in June, 2004 on a free transfer and was one of the club's most consistent performers.
The experienced defender had broken into the first team at St James' Park in the 2000/01 season, but failed to hold down a regular place and made the short move to Wearside.
Stirling-born Caldwell, a full Scottish international, had loan spells with Bradford City, Blackpool and Leeds United while with Newcastle.
At Sunderland, he quickly established a solid partnership with Gary Breen in the Black Cats' Championship winning title season of 2004/05.
He made 80 appearances for Sunderland, one of the last coming in the 2-2 draw against Burnley in December.
Caldwell was appointed club captain soon after his arrival at Turf Moor, replacing Wayne Thomas.
