Published: 30 Jun 2009 - 18:45:07
The 22-year-old, who has four Scotland caps, joins the Turf Moor club for their first Premier League campaign having scored 52 goals 190 appearances at Easter Road. Fletcher becomes the club's second signing in a day following full-back Tyrone Mears' capture. Fletcher has agreed a four-year contract with the Clarets, who will pay the SPL side double their previous record fee having shelled out £1.5million for both Martin Paterson and Chris Eagles last year. The forward was named Scottish Football Writers' Young Player of the Year in 2007-08 and attracted the interest of Celtic earlier this year.
