Johnrose joins Stan and Burnley for third time

Last updated : 25 March 2004 By Tony Scholes

This signing appears to have stunned most Burnley fans with Johnrose having been twice released by the club during 2002. He left at the end of the 2001/02 season and then returned early in the following season on a short term deal that was not extended.

He has since played his football back in the 3rd Division with Bury and more recently Swansea but he found himself on the way out at the Vetch Field following the departure of Brian Flynn.

But this afternoon the 34-year-old midfielder has signed again for the Clarets and he, like Dele Adebola will be in the squad at Bradford.

His last appearance for the Clarets came in the 2-2 home draw against Millwall last season.
