Reo Hatate records an assist in his Burnley debut against Bristol City

Midfielder Reo Hatate made his Burnley debut on Saturday following his deadline-day transfer from Celtic. The 28-year-old earned an assist during his 63 minutes on the pitch at Turf Moor. Despite his creative performance between the lines, Burnley fell to a 2-1 defeat against Bristol City. Manager Nicky Hayen praised the debutant's ability to control the game and provide key passes. Hayen noted that while the early impact was positive, the club expects more from the Japanese international as he approaches peak fitness. The midfielder spent four-and-a-half years at Celtic before finalizing his move to the club last week.
