Sam Vokes signs new three-and-a-half year contract with Burnley

Burnley striker Sam Vokes has signed a new three-and-a-half year contract with the Championship side.

The 26-year-old has extended his previous contract, which was due to expire at the end of next season, by two years.

"I really feel at home here now so for the next three-and-a-half years it will be good to kick on," Vokes told the club website.

"When I moved here the first time around it felt like a great place to be and with the strides the club has made, they've showed what it's about to be involved at Burnley."

Vokes scored 20 goals in the 2013-14 season to help Burnley get promoted to the Premier League, but then only made five starts in the top flight last term due to a serious knee injury.

This season, the Welshman has found the net five times in 25 league appearances for the Clarets, who are fourth in the Championship.
