Brian Laws never hid his desire to bring Cork back, and the player himself admitted he would be open to a return should the opportunity arise.
Just last week, Brian Laws told Clarets Mad at the Laying Down The Laws Evening, that he was in contact with the player and would love to see him back at Burnley although he did confirm that the player would obviously take an opportunity to play in the Premier League.
But the Clarets moved quickly after the McCann news yesterday and Cork will sign a season long loan deal today.
