Former Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has signed a contract to play for Burnley until the end of the season. The 39‑year‑old joins the Championship side as they sit at the bottom of the league, with manager Nicky Hayen hoping his experience will boost the team.
Burnley’s attempt to appoint Rob Edwards as their new manager has failed after he turned down the approach. Edwards, previously sacked by Wolves, was a candidate following Scott Parker’s departure, but Burnley remain without a manager two months after relegation.
Burnley is looking for a new manager after Scott Parker left by mutual consent in April. Craig Bellamy, the current Wales boss, has been identified as a potential candidate. Burnley has contacted the Football Association of Wales (FAW) to discuss Bellamy’s availability.
