Dundee Football Club are thrilled to announce the signing of exciting prospect Joseph Bevan on a two-and-a-half-year deal from Burnley after both clubs agreed terms. The transfer is subject to international clearance.
The 21-year-old winger joins the Dee after spending the first half of this season in the Burnley academy, and is familiar with current Dee Joe Westley from his time there.
Starting his career with Kilsyth Athletic and Camelon Juniors, the Cumbernauld native signed for Albion Rovers in January of season 2022/23, where he picked up 42 appearances, scoring 14 times. He then joined Burnley after a successful trial in January 2024, and was loaned out to Carlisle United a year later in January 2025, picking up 14 appearances in the English League 2.
Speaking after joining Dundee, Joe said, “I’m very excited to be here. I’ve been looking to get back into the men’s environment, and I know David Longwell, he told me all the good things about Dundee. It’s a new opportunity and a fresh challenge for me up here.
I played with Charlie Reilly, we had a very good partnership together at Albion Rovers, and I know Joe Westley very well, we played together for a year and a half at Burnley. He was like David, he was very positive in everything he told me about Dundee.”
Head Coach Steven Pressley said “There was a lot of interest in Joe, we had to move quickly to secure him. He’s a player with real high potential, and we feel he has a big future ahead of him. We’re very pleased to have him join the squad, and to work on his development.”
Joe will wear the number 27 for Dundee.
Welcome to The Dee Joe!
