Ben Mee said “I feel at home at the club and to have been here as long as I have has been fantastic, Taking the armband this year has really cemented that for me. It feels good to extend my stay here and hopefully we can keep progressing how we have done. I’m excited for what we can do and what we can achieve. I feel at a really good place in my career, It’s nice to have that backing and as a player it’s always a positive to have that support. I’m feeling good and I’m looking to play for a lot longer. There’s plenty more in me. I want to play more and improve and keep progressing as a player and as a captain as well now. That’s a big ambition of mine, to play as many games as I can and keep learning along the way and I’m looking forward to many more appearances. I think I’ve been playing well and the lads all look fit and in good form and ready to go, which we will be for next season after what’s going to be a quick turn-around.”
Burnley captain Ben Mee will extend his stay at Turf Moor to beyond a decade after the Clarets triggered a clause to keep the long-serving defender until June 2022. Mee has made over 300 appearances for the clarets and after having to let go off a number of players this summer, Burnley fans will be delighted that their captain will be staying on for at least another two years.
