(Reuters) - Burnley defender Kevin Long has signed a new three-year contract to extend his seven-year stay at Turf Moor, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 26-year-old Ireland international is Burnley's longest-serving player, even if he has spent much of his time at the club out on loan to other sides.
