Burnley have completed the signing of Albion midfielder Dale Stephens.

He arrives on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Burnley tried to sign him as long ago as 2016.

Bolton-born Stephens said: “I’m very happy. It’s probably taken a few more years than expected but I’m happy to get it over the line this week and finally become a Burnley player.

“I’ve been away from the North-West for a while. It’s nice to come back to where the family resides as well.

“But most importantly I’m coming back to a Premier League football club that’s done well in recent years in this league and I’m excited for that challenge."
