Two-time Super Bowl champion Malcolm Jenkins has bought a minority stake in Burnley, who were acquired by ALK Capital in December 2020.
The US-based company, fronted by chairman Alan Pace, bought an 84% stake in the Clarets last year, injecting much-needed funds into a side who have staved off relegation over the years while operating on a comparatively shoestring budget.
Jenkins, who plays for New Orleans Saints and is a two-time Super Bowl winner - with the Saints in 2010 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018 - has now bought into the club, and explained his reasons for doing so in a statement on Burnley's official website.
"I'm excited to enter this new relationship," Jenkins said. "Burnley is known for its tenacity, work ethic, good sportsmanship and efficient operational infrastructure.
"It’s a great fit for me personally and my company to invest in the growth of the sport alongside a historic organisation that aligns with our company values.
