Stephen Ward will leave Burnley this summer.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche confirmed the 33-year-old would not receive a contract extension following Sunday's loss to Arsenal.

"Wardy won't be getting a new contract with us," said Dyche.

"I wanted him involved and to try and get him on but obviously we were chasing the win.

"I said to Gibbo we had to cover James Tarkowski because he hadn't trained hardly at all after having a little 'un, and we wanted to keep the strikers and wide players on, so I said to Gibbo I wanted to pay Wardy the respect he's due.

"He's been a magnificent servant for us, and Gibbo is a great pro and respected that.

"We have to make decisions, simple as that.

"And there will be more over the summer.

"Wardy's been brilliant for us, absolutely brilliant, he's done a fantastic job."
