Burnley have announced Matt Lowton is leaving.

The defender will not be offered new terms with his deal to expire this week.

The 33-year-old told the club website: “It's just a huge thank you to everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

“I'm glad we've had so much success and that we've brought the fans down to Turf Moor every week in their numbers.

“If you're from Burnley - you're a massive Burnley fan. It means so much to the town and with the culture here I grasped that straight away.

“The fans have been great with me and my family over the years and I was happy to repay them. Hopefully I did on the pitch by giving them 100 per cent."

He added: “We've seen this season it's been unbelievable and hopefully I'll be coming back and watching them in the future.

“I hope it goes from strength to strength because the love I have for this club - I can't really put it words."
