Josh Brownhill
Josh Brownhill has confirmed his exit from Burnley, marking the end of a significant chapter in his football career. The midfielder, who spent five-and-a-half years with the Clarets, played an instrumental role in the team’s success, including two promotions to the Premier League. His contributions last season were particularly notable, as he scored 18 goals to help secure the club’s immediate return to the top flight.
Josh Brownhill said: “It has been an unbelievably difficult decision to move on and called it a real honour to wear the captain’s armband. The memories I’ve created during my time at the club have been amazing. My decision has only ever been about me wanting to challenge myself further and continue to grow as a person and a professional. I feel that a new project at this point in my career simply allows me to do that.”
Josh Brownhill added: “To all the managers, coaches, staff and teammates I’ve had the honour of working with – thank you! I also want to say a big thank you to Scott Parker and Alan Pace, who have been supportive of my decision and who I will always have the highest respect for. To the fans, I really want you to know that I understand and value what Burnley is to its people and will be forever grateful to you all. To wear the captain’s armband for this club was a real honour and something I felt privileged to do every day.”
Josh Brownhill concluded: “Lastly, it really felt like the perfect way to sign off my time at Burnley by scoring two goals in my last game at Turf Moor, while captaining and being promoted into the Premier League with 100 points for a second time. If Carlsberg did ending for me, this was it and something I will never, ever forget! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! JB.”
Brownhill’s departure marks the end of a remarkable period at Burnley, where he not only showcased his skills on the pitch but also demonstrated leadership qualities as the team’s captain.
