Midfielder becomes sixth summer signing

Burnley Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Republic of Ireland international Josh Cullen on a three-year contract from Anderlecht for an undisclosed fee.

Cullen will link back up with former manager Vincent Kompany, after spending the last two seasons at the Belgian club.

The 26-year-old spent 15 years at West Ham United, rising through the academy ranks, with loan spells to Bradford City, Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic in between, before a permanent switch to Anderlecht in 2020.

Internationally, the Essex-born central-midfielder has represented Ireland at U19s and U21s level, and now has over 20 senior appearances for The Boys in Green.

After joining the Clarets, Cullen said: “I’m really happy. It’s been something that’s been going on for a couple of weeks now, so I’m just happy it’s all done and dusted. I’m looking forward to the new season now.

“The season will come around fast now. I can’t wait to get the shirt on in some of the friendlies, and then the main event kicks off in a few weeks’ time.”

Manager Vincent Kompany said: “We are delighted to welcome Josh to the squad, he’s a hard-working and brave player, that will give everything for the team and the Club.
