John Egan Joins Burnley on Short-Term Deal

Burnley has officially signed Republic of Ireland international defender John Egan on a contract until the end of the season. The 31-year-old, who was a free agent after leaving Sheffield United, has been training with Burnley and is expected to bolster their defensive lineup as they navigate the Championship season. Egan expressed his ambition to contribute to the team's success, highlighting the positive environment and strong camaraderie he has experienced since joining. He brings significant experience, having made over 300 Football League appearances and won promotion twice during his previous tenure with Sheffield United. Burnley, currently sixth in the Championship, aims to strengthen their squad after several player departures before the transfer window closed. Egan's arrival comes as the club looks to improve on their performance following relegation from the Premier League last season.
