Burnley Football Club can confirm that Steven Defour has been allowed to end his time at Turf Moor and return to Belgium to continue his career.
Defour has had the remaining 10 months of his contract with the Clarets terminated by mutual consent to head home for family reasons.
Manager Sean Dyche said: “Steven has worked really hard throughout the summer to get back to full fitness and has made excellent progress.
“We were looking forward to him playing some part for us later in the season, but for family reasons it is more appropriate for him to return to Belgium.
