Burnley football club's new strip got an exclusive preview on Coronation Street says the Lancashire Telegraph.

The club received a request earlier in the summer from Corrie for a junior Clarets kit.

The episode aired last night show Amy (Barlow) McDonald wearing the new Puma shirt. Amy, played by Elle Mulvaney, is pictured crouched over her mother, Tracy, after her health takes a dramatic turn for the worse.

A spokesman for Burnley FC said: “We received a request from Coronation Street to provide a kit for the actress who plays Amy to wear. I believe the context is that she’s taking part in a summer soccer skills course. We were only too glad to provide the strip and are glad that the character of Amy has the good sense to be a Clarets fan.”
