Ahead of Tuesday's trip to Wolves we take a look at players that have represented both players over the years

Stephen Ward

The Dublin-born defender began his career with Bohemians in the Irish Premier Division before joining Wolves in January 2007. Ward won the Championship Player of the Month in his first full month at the Club after scoring three goals in his first six games. The full-back went on to spend seven seasons at Molineux, playing an integral role in the 2008/09 Championship winning campaign where Ward featured 42 times. The Irishman departed Wolves in the summer of 2014 and joined the newly promoted Clarets in the Premier League. Despite Ward playing just nine games in his first season at Turf Moor due to injury, the defender went on to be a fan favourite in Burnley. The left-back was a key figure in the Clarets’ return to the top-flight in the 2015/16 title-winning campaign and helped Burnley secure UEFA Europa League football in 2018 before leaving in 2019 with a total of 113 appearances during his five year stay in Lancashire.

Chris Iwelumo

Born in Scotland, Iwelumo started his football pathway with St Mirren before his first move to England in 2000 to Stoke City. The striker had various loan spells and two seasons at both Colchester United and Charlton Athletic before signing for Wolves in 2008. Iwelumo spent two years in the Midlands where he helped Wanderers to promotion to the Premier League in his first campaign. Following his time with Wolves, the Scotsman joined the Clarets in the summer of 2010 and scored on his debut in a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest. Despite the forward only spending a season at Turf Moor, a memorable hat-trick in a 4-3 victory over Preston North End will be fondly remembered by Clarets supporters.

Kevin McDonald

The Carnoustie-born midfielder began his career with Dundee in 2005, before leaving Scotland and signing for the Clarets in the summer of 2008. McDonald spent two seasons at Turf Moor, with the Scotsman helping Owen Coyle’s side secure promotion to the Premier League in his first year. The central midfielder, now of Bradford City, scored five goals during his 64 games in east Lancashire before leaving in in 2011 for Sheffield United. After a couple of seasons at Bramall Lane, McDonald signed for Wolves ahead of the 2013/14 campaign under Kenny Jackett which saw Wolves win the League One title. The Scotland international played at Molineux for a furth two years before departing in 2016 for Fulham.
