BURNLEY have confirmed Robbie Brady is leaving the club at the end of his contract.
Robbie Brady said “I would have loved if things had gone better at times, because I always backed myself to do well and help the lads out wherever I can,” he said. “It was difficult in that respect but it’s been brilliant and a big learning curve for me. I just want to thank the lads and thank everyone for giving me this opportunity. I learned a hell of a lot over the last few years and a lot about myself. I also want to thank the fans for making me feel so welcome. It’s such a family club and they get right behind the lads as we’ve seen over the last few seasons. It’s been a phenomenal time and I’m so happy to say that I feel I have played a part in Burnley’s history, which I’ll always look back fondly on. I have had a lot of good times – and a few bad times personally – but these things happen and I wish the lads all the best. I’m sure they’re going to kick on again like we have done over the last number of years. I’m sad to go but it’s a part of my career I look back on fondly, along with the people I’ve met.”
The winger – the Clarets’ record signing when he arrived from Norwich in January 2017 – departs having made 87 appearances for the club. The 29-year-old has however seen his time at the club blighted by injury, a serious knee issue derailing his progress after helping Burnley qualify for Europe back in 2018. Despite his frustrations, Brady has nothing but kind words for all those he is leaving behind at Turf Moor.
