Crouch Returns to Premier League with Burnley

By Daily Sports on February 1, 2019

Former England international Peter Crouch is returning to the Premier League at the age of 38 with Burnley, while striker Sam Vokes is leaving the Clarets to join Stoke City, the clubs announced on Thursday.

Crouch, 38, signed a short-term deal with Burnley until the end of the season, while Vokes, 29, has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract at Stoke.

Crouch was part of the Stoke team relegated to the second tier Championship last season but has not started a game since September.Former Tottenham and Liverpool forward Crouch has played for six Premier League clubs in his career and scored 108 top-flight goals, while also winning 42 caps for England, scoring 22 goals between 2005 and 2010.

“I still want to achieve things,” Crouch told Burnley’s website. “I want to get more games and I would love to add to the 100 Premier League goals.

“My game has probably changed a little bit. I’m not 25. But my attributes haven’t waned. I never really had blistering pace, so I haven’t lost that. I know I can impact games at this level.”

Despite Crouch’s age, Burnley manager Sean Dyche believes the lanky forward can be useful in his team’s battle against relegation.

“There’s no issue about his fitness and I think he has an intention and a desire to still make a mark in football,” he said.

“We know what a good character he is and he still has that edge. We know he’s an effective footballer and he has a hunger to come here and make a mark,” he added. (ESPN)
