New Faces To Help U23s Step Up

The Clarets have strengthened their Under-23 squad with the arrival of a quartet of new signings.

Burnley have brought in goalkeeper Marc Richter, midfielder Will Rickard and defenders Marcel Elva-Fountaine and Connor Barrett on initial 12-month deals.

In addition, striker Rob Harker, 20, has signed a new contract to extend his stay at Turf Moor for a further year as the Clarets gear up for their entry into Premier League 2 following the Academy’s elevation to Category One status.

Richter, 20, arrives from German club Augsburg and signs following a successful trial spell in July.
