He joined the Bairns in July on a deal that would see him play for the Scottish Premier League club until January and made his debut for them in a Europa League game against FC Vaduz.

He's gone on to make a total of 13 league and cup appearances for them but seven of those have been as a substitute. However, he's been suffering from an ongoing groin problem that has now ruled him out beyond the end of his deal and he's made his return to Burnley where he was able to watch the game against Arsenal on Wednesday.

The SPL club confirmed that he'd endeared himself to their supporters with some combative displays and that he'd scored one goal during his time in Scotland, in a 3-1 defeat against St Mirren.
