Clarets snap up Edgar from Magpies
Edgar made just 23 appearances for Newcastle and the Magpies will be entitled to a compensation fee because he is under 24.
The Canadian will add options to Owen Coyle's side next season as he can play anywhere across the backline.
The 22-year-old becomes Burnley's third new signing of the summer following the arrivals of Tyrone Mears and Steven Fletcher at Turf Moor.
Edgar is keen to get a run of games under his belt after being frustrated at Newcastle.
His agent, Barry MacLean told Ontario newspaper The Record: "I'd say he's pretty happy. We're looking for him to play regularly at
this stage of his career.
"For him to play regular first-team football is critical for him."
Edgar's father Eddie played in goal for Newcastle and Hartlepool before emigrating.
