Stone Tribute To Departing Trio

Steve Stone paid tribute to the trio of young players who ended their Burnley careers in the Lancashire FA Senior Cup final.

Goalkeeper Aiden Stone, defender James Clarke (top) and forward Tinashe Chakwana have not been offered new deals and will leave Turf Moor at the end of the season.

Stone and Clarke both started the 2-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at the County Ground in Leyland, while Chakwana came off the bench during the second half.

And they were then given a fitting send-off by their team-mate after the game, with Stone confident they will get the chance to pursue their careers elsewhere.
