Exciting forward extends deal at Turf Moor

Burnley Football Club are delighted to confirm that Luca Koleosho has signed a new five-year contract running until 2029 at Turf Moor.

The 19-year-old becomes the second player this week to sign a new contract, after it was announced yesterday that Josh Cullen extended his stay with the Club.

Upon signing his new contract, Koleosho explained why: "To sign a new deal and be with the guys for another long period of time feels amazing.

"The locker room, the people around us, the staff, we all gel together. It’s just a very positive environment.

"Every morning, we come in and we’re excited just to get to work because of the people around us.

"I’ve seen how we’re working and what we’re working towards. I’m just excited to be a part of that."

Koleosho signed for Burnley last summer and enjoyed a bright and promising start to life in the Premier League, until an unfortunate injury in December ended the teenager’s season in the top-flight.

"It was tough because it was new for me to go through surgery and go through the rehabilitation process.

"Me having to deal with that and having the patience to take it step by step? The club were amazing with me.

"They were with me every step of the way and I needed that to be in the position I’m in now, where I can play ninety minutes and feel as good as I was last season."

After returning to full fitness and starting three of the first four games of the current campaign, Koleosho is up and running for the 2024/25 campaign after scoring in the 5-0 win over Cardiff last month.

Now he's looking forward to the game at Leeds United on Saturday and then turning 20 the day after!

"I’m excited to get to work right away against Leeds, try and come out with the win and then we can celebrate my birthday on Sunday!”
