Defender Keogh nets Burnley deal
Burnley have completed their sixth summer signing, with defender Richard Keogh penning a two-year contract.
Keogh, 18, has impressed since joining the Clarets for pre-season on 1 July.

Boss Steve Cotterill said: "He was well known to me at Stoke, but he was only a kid then and although he's still young, in body and physically he is a man."

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 player, who has had a loan spell with Icelandic side Vikingur, was released by Stoke at the end of last season.
