Thompson Joins Youth Ranks
17-year old Max Thompson has signed for Burnley, after leaving former club Everton.
The second-year scholar originally joined the Clarets on a trial basis in November, before putting pen-to-paper in December and agreeing an 18-month contract with the club.
The former Manchester United youngster, who spent last season with the Toffee’s, before arriving at Turf Moor this month, will primarily link up with Tony Philliskirk’s U18 side.
Thompson featured for the U23s in a friendly at the training ground last month, where he bagged two impressive goals, before lining-up for Philliskirk’s side as a trialist in the youth teams’ 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.
