New Burnley signing David Edgar has spoken of his sadness at leaving Newcastle.
The 22-year-old defender has joined the Clarets following Newcastle's acrimonious relegation from the Premier League, severing strong ties with the club.
Edgar said: "My mum and dad are both Geordies, so it was a difficult decision to leave. But it came down to what was best for me.
"I knew it was time to move on and I like the way Burnley are going. I have a good feeling about this move.
"I do not think many teams will want to play at Turf Moor. It is such a compact stadium."
Edgar was brought up in Canada after his dad Eddie - a former Newcastle and Hartlepool goalkeeper - emigrated.

I see 'Cameron w' fails to let on as to where his allegiances lie. Oh dear, not another pathetic specimen, who cowers behind his anonymity in order to avoid the incoming flak it deserves. Enough said! UTC. Pretiumque et causa laboris.
