Burnley quintet sign new contracts at Turf Moor
10:52am Tuesday 16th March 2010 in
BURNLEY have handed new contracts to five of their up-and-coming young players.
First-year professionals Alex Ray Harvey, Chris Lynch, Chris Anderson, Nik Kudiersky and Wes Fletcher have been given 12-month deals to extend their stay until the end of next season.
Meanwhile, defender Ben Hoskin, 19, who has been on a short-term deal following his recovery from injury, will have his future decided at the end of the current campaign.
Fletcher, Hoskin and midfielders Anderson, 19, and Harvey, 19, have all been involved at reserve-team level in recent weeks with striker Fletcher, 20, also spending a month on loan with League Two side Grimsby Town.
Nineteen-year-old defenders Lynch, who started the season on loan at Chester City, and Kudiersky are currently recovering from knee operations.

Just one slight problem chaps : we havent produced via our so-called youth sytem anyone of that calibre for 30 years. Step forward Lee Dixon, Brian Laws, Trevor Steven and Mike Phelan. At this rate they are going to be historic monuments.
Hoskin: hope thats not the son of the infamous Ashley Hoskin. If hes like his father god help us : even Accy Stanley wouldnt recruit em nowadays.
