The former England international has been training with Burnley in a bid to keep up his fitness as he looks for a new club after leaving Goodison Park last month.

Jagielka moved to Everton from Sheffield for £4 million in 2007, and he successfully established himself as a Toffees legend after scoring 19 goals in 386 appearances and becoming club captain in 2013.
