Veteran striker Andy Cole has joined Burnley on loan
from Sunderland until the end of the season.
Cole has failed to make an impact at the Stadium of Light
following his summer move from Portsmouth and has been restricted
to just three starting appearances.
The former England international played alongside Black Cats boss
Roy Keane at Manchester United and enjoyed great success at Old
Trafford.
He is the second highest scorer in the history of the Premier
League with 187 goals, and now has the chance to impress at
Championship level with Burnley.
Tremendous
Clarets boss Owen Coyle believes Cole could play a key role in
their push for promotion to the Premier League.
He told the club's official website: "I am absolutely delighted to
bring a player of Andy Cole's stature and quality to the football
club.
"I have been working on signing him for a while now and I am
thrilled to have him. He will be a tremendous addition for Burnley
and gives us a big, big boost."
Cole is set to make his debut for Burnley in their clash with
Championship leaders West Brom at The Hawthorns on
Saturday.
