About
Lyle Foster is a South African forward who leads the line for Burnley. Born in Carletonville on 3 September 2000, he came through Orlando Pirates in his homeland before a €1 million move to AS Monaco in 2018, followed by spells in Belgium and Portugal that included loans at Cercle Brugge and Westerlo. After Westerlo signed him permanently and he impressed in the Belgian Pro League, Burnley paid an initial fee of around €7 million to bring him to Turf Moor in January 2023. He marked his debut with the winning goal against Preston North End and helped the Clarets win the Championship title to clinch promotion to the Premier League. A regular for South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, Foster is contracted at Burnley until June 2027 and is reported to earn roughly £20,000 per week.
