Barnes signs one-year Burnley extension

Ashley Barnes has signed a new contract with Burnley.

The striker has extended his deal until June 2020.

Burnley also have an option to extend that further by 12 months.

Barnes told Burnley's website: "I'd like to see out my playing days here.

"At this moment in time I don't see anything else for me and I just want to continue playing at the highest level possible, and hopefully that is with Burnley.

"I just want to carry on playing and I want another contract after this. When you're in your 30s people say you're almost done, but for me I want to play as long as possible.

"I've still got a lot to learn and a lot to achieve and I want to stay in the Premier League until I retire."
