Harry Limb: Burnley sign striker from ninth-tier Wisbech Town

The 17-year-old, who also had a trial at Swansea City earlier this year, has signed an 18-month contract.

The ex-Boston United player scored 22 goals for the United Counties League Premier Division side this season.

Burnley were not obliged to pay for the player as he was non-contract, but have made a "donation" to the club, according to Fenmen boss Dick Creasey.
