Burnley Join Race to Sign Free Agent Solly March

Clarets Join Race for Premier League Veteran

Burnley are the latest club to show interest in signing free agent Solly March.

March has drawn plenty of interest throughout this window following his departure from Brighton, most notably from Crystal Palace, with the 32-year-old reportedly passing a medical with the Eagles earlier this month. However, other Championship clubs are also looking to secure the Englishman's signature.

March has been a one-club man throughout his professional career, making 300 appearances for the Seagulls and becoming a stalwart of their recent history.

He is arguably most known for his struggles with injuries, having consistently suffered setbacks since 2023. March suffered a knee injury in October 2023 which kept him out for a year.

When the 32-year-old returned to football, he managed to play for around five months between November and April before suffering another long-term injury. This time, March was sidelined for 11 months.

After returning again in 2026, March made a handful of appearances before his contract expired, bringing his time at Brighton to an end at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Where Could March End Up?

March would be a good addition for any lower Premier League side or higher Championship club, and with the amount of attention he has received this window, it won't be long before he is back playing football.

Unlike many of the transfers being rushed through today, March has the luxury of being a free agent, meaning he can take his time and choose a club that suits him best.

At 32, his experience at Premier League level would make him a valuable addition for a side looking to strengthen their squad, provided he can stay fit.
