Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley has been named the EFL’s young player of the month for February.

The 22-year-old was part of the Clarets side which kept six clean sheets last month in their record 12-game run without conceding a goal in the Championship.

“I’m enjoying my football and we’ve got a goal here to get back to the Premier League,” Egan-Riley told BBC Radio Lancashire in a recent interview.

Egan-Riley, who joined Burnley from Manchester City in 2022, has featured in 33 of their 38 league games this season, helping them to third place in the table.
