Jon Walters joins Burnley’s Irish contingent

Burnley have signed Republic of Ireland striker Jonathan Walters from Stoke for an undisclosed fee.

Walters, 33, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal to end his seven-year spell at Stoke and his arrival follows that of defender Charlie Taylor, who joined the Clarets from Leeds on Thursday.
