Striker Ashley Barnes has left Norwich City.

The 35-year-old has completed a permanent move to Burnley, where he previously played for nine years (from 2014-2023).

Ashley arrived at Carrow Road during the 2023 summer transfer window and went on to make 41 appearances for the club in his first season, scoring seven goals.

In 2024/25, he has made eight further appearances for the Canaries.

Sporting director Ben Knapper said: “Ashley leaves with our very best wishes, and we thank him for his contributions over the last 18 months.

“He was an extremely well-liked member of our group, and an important figure in the dressing room.

“We all wish him nothing but the best for the future."
