Former Burnley captain Josh Brownhill has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab.
Premier League sides Brentford, Wolves and West Ham and Championship club Leicester were all keen on the 29-year-old, who scored 18 goals last season as Burnley secured promotion back to the top flight.
The midfielder left at the end of the campaign after five years at Turf Moor, making 211 appearances in total and scoring 32 goals overall.
He will join Belgium international Yannick Carrasco and former Southampton and Watford defender Wesley Hoedt at Al-Shabab.
The club, managed by former Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil, lost their opening game of the Saudi Pro League 4-1 to Al-Khaleej.
“I feel really honoured to join Al-Shabab,” Brownhill said.
“The way the manager plays – formation, system and the vision that they see – is what really attracted me.
“I’m hoping to score a lot of goals and we’ll be aiming to win some trophies this season.
