PREMIER League side Burnley are hoping fans get carried away with their latest job ad — for a matchday stretcher bearer.

The newly promoted club — managed by former Manchester City hero Vincent Kompany — want someone who can “perform the manual handling requirements to lift and lower a stretcher”.

They say applicants must be fit and active and be able to work evenings and weekends.

The ad tells hopefuls they would “be present at a list of fixtures to remove injured players by stretchers from the field”.

It adds: “They will also need to have a flexible approach to work and be able to work evenings and weekends.”

It stresses: “The ideal candidate will have experience in pre-hospital first aid.”

But no salary is given and it is described as a zero hours contract.

The Clarets, who play at Turf Moor, won the Championship with 101 points last season.

Burnley will now be taking their place in the Premiership, with Vincent Kompany hoping to put a dent in former club Man City's hope of winning the league.
