He impressed in League One last season and has caught the eye of incoming Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.
““It’s unreal to be here, I’m absolutely buzzing and so glad to have got the move done,” said McNally.
“It’s all happened so quick really, I just can’t wait to start now and I’m really excited.”

Kompany added: “Luke is a young player, he’s good on the ball, wins his challenges, and knows how to defend. We are delighted he is now a part of our squad.”
We are pleased to welcome him to our club, he has shown all the qualities we were looking for in a central defender, and we are looking forward to working with Luke.”
Burnley are expected to lose the services of fellow Irish defender Nathan Collins this summer, as the 21-year-old is wanted by a number of Premier League clubs.
