Ben Mee is to leave Burnley at the end of this contract after 11 years with the club after their relegation from the Premier League.
The captain was offered a new deal only towards the end of the season. Given Mee’s standing at Burnley, there was surprise an offer was not put on the table earlier, with priority instead given to a four-year extension for Sean Dyche, who signed it in September and was sacked as manager in April.
