NFL star Malcolm Jenkins has announced his minority investment in Burnley after attending their Premier League clash with Manchester City at the weekend.
The two-time Super Bowl winner had a tour of Turf Moor before heading to the Etihad Stadium as the Clarets suffered a 2-0 defeat to the reigning champions, and is now set to take on an active role in how the club is run moving forwards.
Jenkins, who is part of the ALK Capital investment group that bought an 84 per cent share in Burnley back in December, has expressed his excitement over the opportunity while outlining his desire to uphold the club's traditional values.
The 33-year-old told Burnley's official website: “I’m excited to enter this new relationship, as Burnley FC 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.
