Striker pens new contract

Burnley Football Club are delighted to announce striker Jay Rodriguez has signed a new two-year contract at Turf Moor.

The Burnley-born striker has now committed his future with the Clarets until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Rodriguez has seven goals in all competitions this season, including a vital equaliser against Manchester United at Turf Moor and an impressive four goals in 26 minutes against Rochdale in the Carabao Cup.

After putting pen-to-paper on his new contract at Turf Moor, Rodriguez explained why it was an easy decision for him to make to extend his stay and emphasised how important it is that everyone connected with the Club remains together for the final four matches and beyond.

The forward said: “A big thing that’s stood out for me since I’ve been here is the togetherness of the group and how we work for each other. We’re all humble and down to earth. You look at the squad and you know you’re going to work extremely hard.

“Togetherness is definitely something you notice with the Burnley fans; they are always with you. They can see you working hard on the pitch, and they’ll be behind you no matter what.

“I’ve made many memories so far and hopefully I can make some more soon. You’ve always got to keep improving in football and make as many memories as you can.”

Rodriguez began his career with the Clarets, rising through the academy ranks, and has made more than 200 appearances for the Club, scoring 61 goals.

He continued: “The Club means a lot to me. Having grown up in the area, it is always a pleasure and a privilege to represent Burnley, so when the Club offered the contract, it was a no brainer for me. I couldn’t wait to sign it.

“To play for Burnley being a Burnley lad is extra special. To see where the Club has come and where it’s at now, I just wanted to be a part of that and I can’t wait for the next chapter at the Club.”

Together we can achieve a strong end to the 2021/22 Premier League season, and we need your support this weekend against Aston Villa at Turf Moor.
