Burnley midfielder Freddie Ulvestad moves to Swedish side Djurgardens IF

Burnley have announced that midfielder Freddie Ulvestad has left the club to sign for Djurgardens IF.

The 25-year-old moved to Turf Moor in March 2015, but the Norwegian was never able to fully establish himself in the Clarets first-team squad.

Just two starts and five substitute appearances were made in league matches, and Ulvestad spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Charlton Athletic, where he made 31 outings in all competitions.

Ulvestad was an unused substitute during the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United on Wednesday night, but manager Sean Dyche has given the player permission to return to Scandinavia.

Djurgardens have handed Ulvestad a three-year contract.
