Dara Costelloe F Burnley b.2002

The 22-year-old Burnley forward scored six goals in 15 appearances on loan at Northampton and "led the line impressively, playing a vital role" as the Cobblers avoided relegation from EFL One. Manager Kevin Nolan was quite positive in his assessment of how the Jan 2025 loan had gone: “Dara's been great for us. We would have been in a bit of trouble had we not brought him in. But what he’s done, as a young boy, he’s took it all on his shoulders and led the line brilliantly. He’s got the will and the desire to succeed and he’s come on loads in his time with us.”

Football League World today picked up transfer market pundit Alan Nixon's story that Costelloe is the subject of talks between Burnley and Leyton Orient. The Londoners were beaten in the League One play-off final and won't have QPR's Charlie Kelman on loan again (61 appearances, 27 goals, 6 assists); Jamie Donley (Spurs) scored 8 EFL 1 goals in 37 appearances for Orient and may be loaned to a Championship club next season. So Costelloe will have a lot to live up to, if a deal is completed.
