Blues wideman Wes Burns has signed a new two-year deal, tying him to the club until the summer of 2026.

The 29-year-old, the first signing of the Gamechanger 20 Ltd era in the summer of 2021, has been a big part of Town’s success over the last few seasons.

“This has been an amazing club for me” Burns told the club website. “I’ve enjoyed my time here both as a person and as a player.

“When I signed three years ago I probably didn’t expect us to be where we are today, but it’s been an incredible journey.

“This is one of the best groups I could ever wish to work with. There is a real togetherness here and I am delighted to have signed a new deal.”

Burns suffered a hamstring injury on his Premier League debut on the opening day of the season against Liverpool but is close to a return to action.

In total, the Wales international has made 110 starts and 17 sub appearances for the Blues, scoring 28 goals.

PortmanTerrorist added 16:25 - Sep 9 Remember when he tore us apart and we were stunned to bring him in.....only to find he was so inconsistent. An d then came McKenna and Wes has been pivotal to our success since and scoring in BOTH our promotion matches locks him in as a legend in waiting. Great deal for Club and player.....look forward to Wes tearing apart a few Prem defences yet this season !

JPR77 added 16:33 - Sep 9 Totally agree @RobsonWark. I thought he was awesome last season and we really missed him when out injured, seems to be a huge character too, the videos of him celebrating promotion always put a smile on my face. Glad he’s with us for a few seasons more.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 17:52 - Sep 9 28 goals at about 1 in 4, that stat isn't really mentioned much but it's a good return for a winger especially as he started off as a wing back. Great news, can't wait for him and Ogbene to do the 'starter/finisher' thing on the right.
