Nathan Collins is delighted with his move to Burnley.

The Irish defender has joined Burnley from Stoke City. The 20-year-old has agreed a four-year-deal – with the option of a further 12 months – at Turf Moor.

“Everything about it is top drawer. It's massive. It's what I want to do," said Collins, who made 49 first-team appearances for Stoke and became the Potters' youngest captain when he led the side at the start of the 2019/20 season.

“I want to play in the Premier League. It's going to be a jump but I think I can be ready for it.

“Every season they go into it, Burnley look dangerous. They can always hurt teams and it's a really attractive team to come and play for.

“I want a challenge. That's why I play football – to challenge myself and I can't wait to get going.

“I want to play big games, I want to play against these players – I really can't wait.

“Looking at Burnley, looking at what they've done in the last few seasons and what they want for the future; everything played a part.

“I think they do have big expectations at this club and I want to be part of it."
