Long exits Cork as Burnley deal sealed

BURNLEY last night completed the signing of Cork City defender Kevin Long for an undisclosed six-figure fee on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

Long will link up with the Premier League new boys in January when the transfer window reopens for business.

The 19-year-old has been on the Clarets’ radar for some time and it is thought they have beaten off competition from elsewhere to land him.
