McCann signs on

Last updated : 13 August 2009 By Paul Jennings

Former Republic of Ireland U-21 midfielder Chris McCann has signed a two year contract for Burnley to the delight of the club. The midfielder shone in an astonishing season which saw Burnley promoted via the play-offs. McCann weighed in with goals and some eye catching displays but the Dubliner will line out for Burnley in the Premier League this season.

McCann who many feel should already be capped at Senior International level fell out with U-21 boss Don Givens. Givens has a history of falling out and never forgiving players but if McCann shines in the EPL it my be too hard to leave him out of an Irish squad.
