Burnley Announce Signing of Free Agent Keeper Anders Lindegaard on a Season Long Deal

Burnley have acquired the services of goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard until the end of the season, the club have confirmed.

The 33-year-old is set to bolster Sean Dyche's options in goal following the injury of star stopper and skipper Tom Heaton - who last week underwent surgery on his dislocated shoulder.

Lindegaard was a free agent after leaving Preston North End at the conclusion of last season, and after training with Burnley for the past week the club have added him to the fold alongside the Clarets other keepers, Nick Pope and Adam Legzdins.

The Danish international has been handed the number 22 jersey and after signing a deal until the end of the season Lindegaard said: “I’ve had a good week here and I’ve had a very good impression of the whole club and all the people here.
