BURNLEY have completed the signing of Chelsea's Jack Cork on loan for the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old, who can play in midfield and defence, had been on loan at Championship club Coventry earlier in the season.
Manager Chris Coleman was keen to retain the England Under-21 international’s services, especially as he can play right-back as well as in midfield.
However Cork, son of former Wimbledon striker Alan, has opted to move to Burnley.
Cork signed a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge in August and has also had loan spells with Southampton, Watford, Scunthorpe and Bournemouth.
He becomes the Clarets' sixth signing of the transfer window after Frederic Nimani, Nicky Weaver, Leon Cort, Danny Fox and David Nugent.
