Brendan Flood returns to Burnley board

Mr Flood, who originally joined the Board in 2006, left his position in January 2013.

The Rossendale-born businessman, who has retained a significant shareholding, will now return to strengthen the current six-man Board, subject to Football League clearance.

Co-Chairman Mike Garlick said: “On behalf of the Board of Directors, we welcome Brendan back.

“He has always been a passionate Burnley supporter and we look forward to once again drawing on his drive and enthusiasm as we continue to carry the club forward.”
