CJ Egan-Riley becomes third summer signing

Burnley Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of CJ Egan-Riley on a three-year deal from Manchester City.

The Manchester born teenager can operate as a right-back and centre-back, and he joins the Clarets after spending 12 years at the Etihad Stadium, where he progressed through the academy ranks, captaining both the U18s and U23s.

Egan-Riley has represented England at every level from U15-U19 and featured for Pep Guardiola’s side in the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and Carabao Cup last season.

The 19-year-old becomes Vincent Kompany’s and Burnley’s third signing of the summer transfer window.

After signing at Turf Moor, Egan-Riley said: “I’m buzzing to be here; happy the deal is over the line and I’m a Burnley player.

“I just can’t wait to get pre-season started and get the season underway.”

Manager Vincent Kompany added: “CJ is a player we have been watching closely for a long time. He is a promising and talented footballer with an excellent mindset and attitude.

“We are delighted he has agreed to join. CJ has shown a real hunger and he wants to learn and succeed at Burnley. He fits perfectly into our culture and he is a fantastic addition to our squad.”
