Burnley veteran Duff granted testimonial

Burnley defender Michael Duff has been granted a testimonial.

The 37-year-old has made 350 appearances for the Clarets since joining from Cheltenham Town for £30,000 in the summer of 2014.

He will now host a series of events to commemorate his long service, including a testimonial game at Turf Moor, currently scheduled for August 1 against yet-to-be announced opposition.

Duff told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: "After moving to Burnley in 2004 I have had amazing support from the fans, the board of directors and staff.

"The fact I have gone on to spend 11 years at the club speaks for itself. I have such warm memories, made some great friends and created memories that I am extremely proud of.

"The club is unique to most as it is such a family-orientated club. From the board down, we are all a part of this great club and it's been an honour to play here for so long.

"Something that stands out has been to be a part of two promotions to the Premier League and I want to say a special thank you to Burnley Football Club for granting me a testimonial and allowing me to celebrate with the fans."
