Worrall, who was on loan at Besiktas for part of last season, is now set to play more regularly in the Championship.

“I’m very happy to be a Burnley player, I can’t wait to be involved and help get them back to the Premier League," said Worrall.

“It felt like home as soon as I walked through the door and that’s what I want it to be."

He is said to be a replacement for Burnley defender Dara O'Shea, who is being linked to several Premier League clubs.
