Republic of Ireland defender John Egan has joined Burnley on a contract until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old, who had been on trial with Scott Parker’s Sky Bet Championship side, was a free agent after ending his six-season stay with Sheffield United during the summer.
“First and foremost, I’m an ambitious person, an ambitious player and I feel like I’m at an ambitious club,” Egan told Burnley’s website.
“The manager, staff and the players all want to be successful. I want to come in and add to that. I want to bring my experience and my ability into the group to help drive the group on.”
