Captain Ben Mee is to extend his stay to beyond a decade at Turf Moor in a major boost for the Clarets.
Mee’s existing contract had 12 months still to run and the Clarets have today triggered a clause to keep the long-serving defender until June, 2022.
Mee recently became the 21st player in the Clarets’ history to make 300 league appearances for the club and the 30-year-old now has the opportunity to add even further to that figure after prolonging his prolific Burnley career.
Mee – who initially moved to Turf Moor on loan from Manchester City in July, 2011 before making the switch permanent six months later – said: “I feel at home at the club and to have been here as long as I have has been fantastic.
