YOUNGSTER Dan Agyei and Conor Mitchell have signed new contracts at Turf Moor.
Striker Agyei has put pen to paper on a 12-month deal after returning to Burnley from two loan spells in League One this season.
The 20-year-old scored five times for Walsall in the first half of the campaign before moving to Blackpool – where he featured largely as a substitute – in January.
Agyei, who made his Premier League debut and a total of three substitute appearances for the Clarets at the end of last season, will be back in the fold for pre-season as the former AFC Wimbledon youngster looks to make a further mark at Turf Moor.
“I'm delighted to be staying,” Agyei said.
“Hopefully I can come back next season and kick on and try and push for a place in the team.”
Goalkeeper Mitchell has signed a 12-month deal with a further year’s option.
The Northern Ireland Under-21 international has been a regular for the Clarets’ under-23s in the second half of the season after completing a loan stay at National League side Chester earlier in the campaign.
The 21-year-old, who has been with Burnley since 2012, has also previously been part of the first-team set-up and will get the chance to try and gain further senior experience next season.
