Burnley Football Club are pleased to confirm the signing of Joe Bevan from Scottish club Albion Rovers for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

Aged 19, the striker has signed an 18-month contract with the Clarets and will integrate into Andy Farrell’s U21s squad.

Bevan transitioned into senior football in January of last year, joining Albion from Camelon Juniors FC who are based in Falkirk.

He has continued his development with the Scottish club in the last 12 months and spent a week on trial with the Clarets in December 2023.

After putting pen to paper, Bevan said: “I’m very happy to sign for Burnley; it’s a big achievement and step forward for me and my career.

“I’ve previously played wide right and through the middle, and I am an attacker who likes to get at people with my dribbling and score goals to help the team.

“It’s such a big club and everybody was so friendly and nice to me when I spent time here last month. I really enjoyed my time with the coaches and my now team-mates, too.

“Hopefully I can get into the team, help them as much as possible and kick on from there.”

David Longwell, Burnley’s Academy Manager, added: “Joe is a player who was recommended to us by Gregor Buchanan, our scout in Scotland.

“From his reports we bought him down to Burnley and he did really well.

“He’s got a great attitude and profile and, having watched his games and knowing that he’s coming to this level fairly late, we think he’s got lots of potential.

“My thanks go to everybody at Albion Rovers, who were great to work with.”
