EXPERIENCED midfielder Kevin Ball has completed his free transfer
from Fulham to Division One new-boys Burnley.
The 35-year-old former Sunderland star was one of the North East
clubs favoured sons after joining for £350,000 from Portsmouth
in 1990, and continuing to play for the Black Cats for the next
nine years, racking up nearly 400 appearances.
A £200,000 move to Fulham in December of last year saw Ball strengthen
The Cottagers midfield, but a contract extension was not agreed
and Clarets manager Stan Ternent has completed his fourth Bosman
free transfer of the season.
Turf Moor has already seen the arrival of Liverpool youngster
John Boardman, Sheffield Wednesday's Lee Briscoe and Phil Gray
from Luton, as a squad for the coming Division One campaign is
formed on a shoestring budget.
