Tommy McDermott has signed for Halifax Town on a one-year contract after his summer release from Burnley. The young attacking midfielder's exit ends his time with the Clarets as they navigate a challenging season in the Championship.

McDermott featured twice for Burnley's first team, with both outings occurring in cup matches. He gained senior experience last season while on loan at Shrewsbury Town, where he made numerous appearances and scored several goals. He also previously spent time on loan at Rochdale.

The player initially moved to Burnley from Port Vale, having come through their youth system. He first played professionally for Port Vale and also had temporary spells at other clubs while contracted there. His new agreement with Halifax contains an option to extend for an additional season.

Burnley now prepares for its next league match, a visit to face Watford, as the team aims to climb the table. Supporters can follow the team's coming matches and roster via the club's official pages.
