Burnley have completed the signing of Irish defender Dara O’Shea from West Brom.

In now-typical Burnley fashion, they announced their second signing of the summer on social media with the use of a classic pop-culture scene, this time from Scary Movie.

Speaking on his return to the Premier League after two seasons in the Championship, O’Shea said “I’m at the stage of my career now when I want to push myself. I want to be the best I can be and this is the club that can help me do that and I can help them too.”

“It feels great to be here and I really can’t wait to get going. Burnley were the outstanding team last season and they achieved exceptional things. I want to improve as a player first and foremost and I want to help the club achieve their goals.

Manager Vincent Kompany added: “It’s great to welcome Dara to Burnley and we know he can play a big part in the progression of our football club. Strong at the back as well as confident moving forward, a leader with experience and knowledge of playing at the highest level. Dara will be a great addition to our squad and we can’t wait to start working with him.”

O’Shea will join his international teammate Josh Cullen at a club that continues to be a solid base for Irish players in the Premier League.
