Shelvey came to Burnley in January after his contract had expired with Turkish -League Eyupspor.

The 32-year-old was initially on trial with Burnley before wrote the short-term contract with the Championship Club.

However, he only registered 11 minutes for the Clarets in the second stage.

On February 4, he was on the field for one minute at Burnley’s 1-0 win against Oxford United.

His only other appearance in the league took place on February 21 by a replacement appearance of ten minutes when Burnley beat Sheffield on Wednesday.

Shelvey made two starts for Scott Parker side in the FA Cup, including a 1-0 win against Southampton in the fourth round.

But the 32-year-old unfortunately did not appear to another appearance after Burnley’s 3-0 defeat against Preston North End in the fifth round due to injuries.

After a victory against Luton in March, Parker confirmed the reason for the absence of Shelvey and was pessimistic about the opportunities of the midfielder on a return.

“He captured an injury. He recorded an injury from Preston,” said Parker.

“I don’t yet know the complete, complete extent.

“We will have to see, but it doesn’t look good.”

Shelvey’s departure means that he is now looking for his sixth club in four seasons.

He left Newcastle in the middle of the 2022/23 campaign to join Nottingham Forest.

The following season, Shelvey then came to the Turkish Super -League page Caykur Rizesspor.

The 32-year-old then moved to Eyupspor in August 2024, but took six months for him to move to Burnley.

After earlier stints in Liverpool, Swansea City, Newcastle and Forest, he just has 280 Premier League appearances in his name.

Redmond leaves Turf Moor after playing in all competitions for 20 minutes this season.

The 31-year-old endured a campaign-related campaign when he missed most of 2024 with a thigh injury.

Then he missed the beginning of 2025 with a calf problem.

Redmond managed to spend support in the penultimate game of the season when Burnley removed 5-0 against Queens Park Rangers.

When confirming the outputs of Redmond and Shelvey, Burnley confirmed that Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Edwards, Bashir Humphreys and Zian Flemming would run permanently.

The quartet helped to attribute the Clarets to the Premier League after he had originally arrived in Turf Moor out of credit transactions.

Burnley also confirmed that the discussions with skipper Josh Brownhill, Ashley Barnes and CJ Egan-Riley have not yet been completed.

However, the Clarets face a serious competition for Egan-Riley’s signature, as the Ligue 1 Club Strasbourg offered him a five-year contract.

It is believed that the defender Strasburg was recommended by Sister Club Chelsea opposite Strasbourg. Both clubs belong to the Blueco Group.
