Bamford embracing ‘settled’ Burnley loan spell

New Burnley loan signing Patrick Bamford insists he already feels right at home at Turf Moor.

Bamford, who has joined the Clarets on a season-long loan from Chelsea, has long been admired by Burnley boss Sean Dyche.

And the former England under-21 international is also no stranger to spending time on loan.

Since joining Chelsea from Nottingham Forest, he has spent time with MK Dons, Derby Country, Middlesbrough, Norwich and Crystal Palace.

“When you go out on loan there is a lot of moving back and forth and that can get frustrating,” he said.

“I feel I’ve covered most of England, up north, in the Midlands and down south.

“Last year I only started a few games and it’s hard coming on as a sub sometimes.

“You can go four or five weeks without playing, so it’s not easy, and I never properly settled at either of these clubs, and I feel it will be different this time.

“This is probably one of the easier clubs to move into because I know Ian Woan, who used to coach me at Nottingham Forest U13s, and also Michael Keane, form the England set-up.”
