Connor Roberts Burnley
BURNLEY have signed Swansea City and Wales defender Connor Roberts for an undisclosed fee. The 25-year-old – who has been capped 30 times by Wales – has signed a four-year deal at Turf Moor. Roberts becomes the Clarets’ fifth signing of the summer after Nathan Collins, Wayne Hennessey, Aaron Lennon and Maxwel Cornet.
Alan Pace said: “On behalf of everyone at Burnley Football Club, we are delighted to welcome Connor to Turf Moor. It’s great to add another player with strong international experience to our squad and provide an opportunity for Connor to play Premier League football again having provided outstanding service to Swansea and impressed on the international stage with Wales. We look forward to seeing him in action soon.”
Roberts came through the ranks at Swansea and made more than 150 appearances for the Welsh side. The defender – who also had loan spells with Yeovil Town, Bristol Rovers and Middlesbrough – impressed at Euro 2020 as Wales reached the Round of 16.
