Sam Vokes delighted with new deal at Burnley

Sam Vokes is delighted with his new deal at Burnley.

Vokes has agreed a contract running until June, 2021 to remain a key part of manager Sean Dyche's plans.

“I was always focused and fully committed to the cause, whether I was up in the summer or not," Vokes told Clarets Player HD.

“But I suppose to have that security now is great for myself and my family and I'll look forward to the next three years.

“It's been a huge part of my career. I joined here on loan first in 2011, so it's been seven brilliant seasons.

“There have been ups and down, mainly ups, and it's been a great journey. It's one we're still on and I can't wait for the rest.

“The ambition when I joined was to play in the Premier League, which is where we are.

“And on a personal note, I suppose I was a bit of a journey-man before I came here, after going on loan a few times from Wolverhampton, and I felt at home when I joined.

“I definitely feel at home here now. It's been a great club to be part of. The family feel at home and it's a great place to be."
