Wayne Hennessey: Burnley sign Wales goalkeeper on two-year deal

Burnley have signed Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey on a two-year contract after his release by Crystal Palace.

Hennessey is Burnley's second close-season signing, with defender Nathan Collins having joined from Stoke City.

"They're exciting times and I'm excited to start working with the lads," said Hennessey, who is Wales' most-capped goalkeeper.

Hennessey, who has played 96 times for his country but was back-up to Danny Ward at Euro 2020, is looking forward to challenging Clarets first choice keeper Nick Pope for a first-team place.

"Popey's a great lad but it's competition, which is healthy," Hennessey said.
