Kyle Walker joins Burnley after eight years at Manchester City

Kyle Walker joins Burnley after eight years at Manchester City

Kyle Walker has officially joined Burnley on a two-year contract — a transfer potentially worth up to £5 million if performance bonuses are met, according to ESPN.

The 35-year-old right-back ends his successful eight-year spell at Manchester City, where he made over 200 league appearances and won multiple trophies — including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, Champions League, and Club World Cup.

“I’m delighted to be here. When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at,” said Walker. “He’s done an amazing job here, guiding the club back to the Premier League, and now we’re looking forward to competing in the greatest league in the world.”

After spending the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan, Walker chose to join Burnley managed by his former Tottenham teammate Scott Parker. This decision aligns with his ambition to maintain his place in the England squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
