Wigan Athletic's former goalkeeper Ben Amos has signed for Burnley on a one-year deal. The 36-year-old veteran, who spent part of his career at the Latics, brings a wealth of experience to the Clarets after leaving Port Vale at the end of last season. Wigan Athletic finished 16th in League One last season with 56 points, 14 wins, 14 draws, and 18 losses from 46 games, scoring 49 goals and conceding 58.
What does Ben Amos bring to Burnley?
Ben Amos, who began his career at Manchester United, has played for several clubs including Oldham Athletic, Hull City, Bolton Wanderers, Carlisle, Cardiff City, Charlton Athletic, and Wigan Athletic. His experience in lower-league football could prove invaluable for Burnley as they aim to strengthen their squad.
Why did Burnley sign Ben Amos?
Amos told the club website, "I think there's a good blend of younger and older players here and hopefully I can bring something to the dressing room with my experience and be part of the senior group." His leadership and experience could help guide the younger players in the squad.
What comes next for Wigan Athletic?
With Amos moving on, Wigan Athletic will need to look for a new goalkeeper to bolster their squad. The Latics will be aiming to improve on their 16th-place finish last season and avoid the struggles they faced, finishing 47 points behind leaders Lincoln.
