Burnley brutally cull 15 players after Premier League promotion - as former Liverpool and England star leaves after playing 11 just minutes in four months, while a World Cup winner's son also departs!
Burnley have axed 15 stars after their promotion to the Premier League. The Clarets have wielded the scythe after a stunning Championship campaign which saw them rack up 100 points and seal an instant promotion. Scott Parker is taking no prisoners as he prepares Burnley for another top-flight campaign, with their last two ending in relegation. One top name to feel the blow is none other than a former England and Liverpool player who has 12 seasons of Premier League experience under his belt. Jonjo Shelvey, 33, has been released after playing just 11 minutes in four months, having joined from Turkish side Eyupspor in January. And Nathan Redmond, who has nine full top-flight campaigns in his log book, has also felt the full force of football's brutality at the age of 31 - after playing three times all season. The duo have made a combined 554 appearances in the Premier League between them - experience which is not easily replaced - but Burnley have gone in a different direction. They will leave on June 30. 'Burnley Football Club thank all the leaving players for their contributions and wish them all the very best for their future career,' the club said. Josh Brownhill, CJ Egan-Riley and Ashley Barnes could also leave as their contracts are due to expire but they are in talks with the club over their futures. As well as the two first-team casualties, Burnley have let go of 13 academy starlets. One of those is Ronaldinho's son. Joao Mendes, a 20-year-old winger, joined Burnley last summer after leaving Barcelona but has seemingly not made the grade, despite his father's legendary status. He is one of eight names shedded from the under-21s alongside Alex Healy-Byrne, Will Hugill, Lewis Richardson, Basilio Rieno Socoliche, Jon Ander Vilar Robinson, Ryan Tioffo, Brandon Ly. Meanwhile, Burnley have let go of five under-18s hopefuls in Adam Abbas, Ben Jordison, Logan Carlin, Luca Jackson, and Frankie McMahon-Brown. Parker has overseen his third promotion to the Premier League as a manager after also taking up Fulham and Bournemouth. They sang with Natasha Bedingfield on the turf and in the dressing room after finishing second His Premier League tenures have not gone to plan to date - he has taken Fulham down twice (admittedly only taking the reins in February in one of those seasons) and lasted just four games after getting Bournemouth promoted. However, there is no doubting his ability to form a united group after he helped Burnley up and conceded just 16 goals in the process. The Lancashire club celebrated their promotion with none other than Natasha Bedingfield, whose song 'Unwritten' has been an unofficial anthem for them this campaign. Bedingfield, a chart-topping Noughties popstar, joined them at Turf Moor to sing and dance as they celebrated finishing second earlier this month.
