“This club has a proper footballing history and passionate fans who deserve a team that represents them and their town.”
The former Premier League striker added that he was eager to get onto the pitch and contribute to Burnley’s campaign.
“I can’t wait to get going on the pitch and help the team move in the right direction.”
