Defender heads out

Burnley defender Dane McCullough has been loaned out to non-league side Hyde United to get some experience under his belt. The left-back, who is 19-years-old, has been given the green light to head out the exit door on a deal until the end of the season.

He made the move to Turf Moor in August 2020 from Portadown and is a Northern Ireland youth international. He has told Hyde’s website: “When the opportunity to come here on loan came up, it really appealed to me. I loved my time at Portadown getting experience and I’m enjoying the experience at Burnley but now it’s time to play mens football again.”

Left-back wanted again

Burnley ‘want’ to re-sign Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen this summer again for next term, as per a report by The Sun. The wing-back has been a hit with the Lancashire side since joining on a temporary basis following their relegation from the Premier League.

He has been on the books at Stamford Bridge since joining the London club as a youngster from PSV. The 20-year-old has also had spells away from Stamford Bridge at Charlton Athletic and Coventry City to get game time in the past.
