Aryn Williams now in his third season at Burnley

Williams, brother of former loan player Rhys, arrived as a scholar in 2010 and he's been followed this season by both Callum Richardson and Kevin Ly. Now comes news of Brandon Wilson who is currently an academy player with ECU Joondalup in Western Australia.

Burnley have a development centre set up in Western Australia with Paul Wozny, originally from Keighley, the man in charge.

He's been with the club since October 2010 and, at the time of his appointment, then director of youth Martin Dobson said: "A lot of British clubs have representation in that part of the world and this is a good way for us to do a similar thing. We are just trying to find another potential source.

"Paul is ideally suited to the role. He knows the standard we are looking for and there is the possibility now of sending promising players, who have the right qualifications, over to us to see how they compare with their particular age group."

Wilson is expected to join us ahead of the 2013/14 season after his club reported this week: "ECU academy player Brandon Wilson has been offered a two year deal with Championship club Burnley, from everyone at the club we wish him all the best."
