Chris McCann

The young Dubliner has become a key figure for the Clarets, and has assured himself of a place in the centre of Owen Coyle's midfield. A graduate of the Burnley youth set up, the gritty yet skilful midfielder has already blossomed into an effective player, and will look to improve further over the next few seasons.

Already capped at international level, he made his league debut in 2005, aged just 17, and became an instant fixture in the side. He also boasts the ability to operate in a number of positions, across the midfield and in defence.

This versatility will be a major asset to Burnley, as the Irishman looks to build on the rich promise of his first three seasons.
