Burnley’s longest-serving player – Corkman Kevin Long – has clinched a permanent move to Birmingham City.

Having signed from Cork City at the age of 19, the 32-year-old only featured sporadically in the Championship and Premier League for Burnley, undertaking loan spells at five clubs to get regular game-time.
