“It feels really good to be here. It’s nice to finally get it over the line and be here with the girls, and I’m really looking forward to the new season.

I had a chat with the staff and the manager, and everything that they said aligns with what I want to do moving forwards. The more we talked, it felt like the right time to come to Burnley and push on with them in the Championship.”

Congratulations, Jackie!
