Burnley Signs Vigoro on a Free Transfer

Burnley, newly promoted to the English Premier League, announced on Tuesday the signing of Lawrence Vigoro on a free transfer from Leyton Orient with a three-year contract. Burnley manager Vincent Kompany stated, "We look forward to having Lawrence as part of what we are building here at Burnley." He added, "He has progressed through some of the top academy systems to become the player he is today and has delivered outstanding performances in recent years. He is a very talented goalkeeper with a great character, and he is someone we will enjoy working with." Vigoro said to the Burnley website, "It’s great to be here... I’m really very happy." Last Friday, Burnley, the Championship winners, signed Irish defender Dara O'Shea from West Bromwich Albion to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
