Burnley officially announced the signing of free-agent midfielder Fredrik Ulvestad on a three-year contract through the summer of 2018.
“Fredrik is someone who came into the club to spend some time with us earlier this year," Dyche told the club website. "We liked what we saw and he has gained some good experience playing in the league in Norway. It’s a new challenge for him now, not only on the pitch but off it too in terms of culture."
The 22-year-old Norwegian joins the Clarets after leaving Aalesunds FK once his contract ended this past season. Ulvestad has made 106 appearances in Norway's top flight over the course of his career and made his senior national team debut in August.
“He has gained a full international cap and is learning and gaining experience all the time," Dyche said. "We will be looking for him to continue his development and improve further as a midfielder. There will be an adjustment period, for sure, because of the change in the levels of football. We know how tough the Premier League is, so he will be given time to adjust to that accordingly and continue his development.”
