Burnley: Stockport County's Kyle Brownhill joins Clarets

Stockport County's teenage full-back Kyle Brownhill has signed a one-year deal at Burnley and will join the Championship club's development squad.

Brownhill, 18, has been on trial at Turf Moor during pre-season.

He made a total of five appearances for the Hatters, three of them coming in the Conference Premier last term.

"Stockport seems to be a good breeding ground for young talent," development squad manager Simon Weatherstone told the club website.

"Danny Whitehead departed for West Ham and now Kyle has signed terms here. Hopefully he can progress into the first team in years to come."
