Dale Stephens: Burnley sign midfielder from Brighton on two-year deal

Burnley have completed the signing of midfielder Dale Stephens from Brighton.

The Clarets paid an undisclosed fee for the 31-year-old, who has signed a two-year deal at Turf Moor.

Bolton-born Stephens began his career in the North West at Bury and also played for Oldham Athletic.

"It's nice to come back, but most importantly I'm coming back to a Premier League club that's done well in recent years and I'm excited for that challenge," he said.

Stephens played 223 games for Brighton after joining from Charlton in 2014 and the Seagulls turned down several bids from Burnley for him in 2016.
