Defender signs new long-term contract at Turf Moor

Burnley Football Club are delighted to announce that centre-back Maxime Estève has signed a new five-year deal with the Club.

The 23-year-old defender, who arrived in Lancashire in January 2024 initially on loan, has now committed his future with the Clarets, signing a second new deal in less than a year.

Estève has been a key figure on the pitch across the last 18 months since arriving in Burnley, which has seen him cement his place within the back-line and establish a fantastic connection with the supporters and community.

After extending his stay at Turf Moor, Estève said: “I’m very happy to sign another deal, to me this Club is so special.

“When I came here, straight away I thought it was special, my family felt it too. It’s the best decision to stay at Burnley, for my progression and to play in the Premier League. This Club - with the Gaffer, with my teammates - is the best place to be. I’m proud to sign a new deal.”

The centre-back has featured 64 times for the Clarets over one-and-a-half seasons, after joining from Montpellier last year.

Estève initially joined Burnley on loan from the Ligue 1 side, going on to make 16 Premier League appearances in the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.

Following a successful loan spell, he then joined permanently last summer and enjoyed a magnificent season last year under Scott Parker, with the Frenchman included in the EFL Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season, as Burnley secured promotion to the Premier League.
