The former Aston Villa defender has made himself into a popular figure since becoming manager Sean Dyche’s first summer signing of 2015.

A 50th appearance for the club recently arrived in tandem with his 100th Premier League appearance and the 27-year-old was looking forward to plenty more at Turf Moor.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time at Burnley and want to hopefully play my part in keeping the club in the Premier League and beyond.

“I feel like I’m really enjoying my football at the moment and probably playing as well I have at any time in my career.

“Much of that is down to the lads in the team because everyone here works so hard for each other and that’s been the secure to our success.

“The club is on the up and you can see that on the pitch and also behind the scenes, like the new training ground, which is just about as good as it gets.

“I experienced a good set-up at Aston Villa but this is Premier League quality and we are looking forward to that helping us take things forward.”
