Burnley agree a deal to sign Bristol City goalkeeper Tom Heaton on July 1 when his contract with the Robins expires.

Burnley have agreed a deal to sign Bristol City goalkeeper Tom Heaton on July 1 when his contract with the Robins expires.

The 27-year-old former Cardiff City stopper has agreed a two-year deal at Turf Moor, with the option of a 12-month extension.

Heaton, who was relegated from the Championship with City this season, joins the Clarets following the departures of Lee Grant and Brian Jensen.

"He's had a really good season in very tough circumstances at Bristol City," Burnley manager Sean Dyche told the club's website.

"We felt it was appropriate to act quickly following the release of Brian and the departure of Lee.

"We have been aligning things for the 'what-ifs', as we are in all cases, and Tom is a great signing and one we believe will do very well for us."

Heaton is Burnley's first signing of the summer.
