Robbie Brady looking for a new club as his Burnley contract expires

Ireland international Robbie Brady is on the lookout for a new club after his contract with Burnley expired.

The Euro 2016 hero has left the Premier League side, ending a spell of over four years with the club after signing for a then record €15 million transfer fee in January 2017.

The 29-year-old midfielder's time at Turf Moor was heavily impacted by injuries, including an 11 month stint on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury in December 2017.

"I've really enjoyed my time here," Brady told the club's official website.

"I've loved every minute and I'm really going to miss the lads. They have been a massive part of my career and I've made friends who I will hold onto for a long, long time. In that respect everything has been great.

"Unfortunately, I picked up a quite significant injury when I felt like I was almost reaching the peak of my game in that season where we finished in the European spots.

"We'd had a really good spell and picked up a lot of points but then I picked up the injury and that was me for almost a year. I found it difficult with the magnitude of the injury getting back.

"It was a long road and a hard road for me, personally, but I managed to get there."
