Burnley defender Daniel Lafferty is set to become the latest Derry man to play in the Barclays Premiership.
The former Derry City full-back has been offered a new contract at Turf Moor.
The Clarets gained promotion to the Premiership after finishing runners-up to Leicester City in the SkyBet Championship and the former Derry City full-back has been offered new terms by manager Sean Dyche.
The offer is seen as vote of confidence in the 26-year-old, who joined Burnley from Derry City in January 2012.
Meanwhile, Lafferty has been named in the Northern Ireland squad for Northern Ireland’s upcoming friendlies with Uruguay and Chile.
Manager Michael O’Neill has also included former Derry City forward Niall McGinn, now with Aberdeen and Derry man Shane Ferguson (Newcastle United) in his 22-man squad.
The squad is:
Goalkeepers: Roy Carroll (Olympiacos), Michael McGovern (Falkirk), Trevor Carson (Portsmouth).
