Former Burnley youngster Connor King is ready to take on a new challenge, after being handed a full-time goalkeeping coaching role in the Academy earlier this year.
The ex-Chester City and Clitheroe shot stopper joined the academy as an 11-year old and went on to feature for the youth team and U23s, before being released a couple of years ago.
However, after staying with the club in a part-time coaching role, King was then appointed a full-time academy position in March, just before lockdown was put in place, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
And the 21-year old admits he is excited to take on his new role with the Clarets, after the youngsters returned to training in ‘pods’ last week at the Barnfield Training Centre.
