Trio leave promoted Clarets

Burnley boss Owen Coyle has released three players after guiding the club into the Premier League. Steve Jones, Gabor Kiraly and Alan Mahon, who were all out of contract at Turf Moor, have not been offered new contracts but Graham Alexander, Adam Kay and Alex MacDonald have been handed the opportunity to extend their stay with the club. Thirty-seven-year-old Alexander has been offered a new one-year deal while teenagers MacDonald and Kay have been handed two and one-year deals respectively. The three players who have been released were all on the periphery of the first-team squad in the campaign just ended.
