Burnley have signed goalkeeper Ben Amos on a one-year deal. The 36-year-old, who started his career with Manchester United, was a free agent after leaving Port Vale at the end of last season. He has also played for Oldham Athletic, Hull City, Bolton Wanderers, Carlisle, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, and Wigan Athletic during a much-travelled career.
What happened?
Burnley have signed experienced goalkeeper Ben Amos on a one-year deal. The 36-year-old joins from Port Vale, bringing a wealth of experience to the Clarets. Amos told the club website, "I think there's a good blend of younger and older players here and hopefully I can bring something to the dressing room with my experience and be part of the senior group."
Why it matters for Burnley
The signing of Amos adds depth to Burnley's goalkeeping department. With the Clarets currently 19th in the Premier League, 63 points behind leaders Arsenal, and having conceded 75 goals this season, Amos' experience could be invaluable in helping the team improve their defensive record.
What comes next?
Burnley's next fixture is against Watford at home on 27th February 2027. With Amos now part of the squad, the Clarets will be looking to build on their recent form and push for a better finish in the league table.
Goals this season: 38 scored, 75 conceded (-37 goal difference). League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 19th in Premier League, 22 pts, 4W-10D-24L from 38 games, recent form DLDLL.
