Otherwise known as 'Scorer', Chris is a central midfield player and Burnley lad who has progressed from the Centre of Excellence, which he joined aged nine.
An aggressive player who is maturing with every performance, he was a regular for the Reserves and youth teams in the 2008/09 season and, in March 2009, was offered professional terms with the club.
Chris is not expected to feature in the first team squad this season, with all the first year apprentices set to be intensively coached by John Henry.
