Burnley Football Club has offered new contracts to out-of-contract quintet Brian Jensen, David Unsworth, James O'Connor, Jon Harley and Jay Rodriguez.

All five have been offered new terms by manager Owen Coyle, who has released John Spicer and insists he will listen to offers for Hungarian goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.

Danish goalkeeper Jensen, Irish midfielder O'Connor and former England U21 defender Harley are all considering the offers to continue their careers at Turf Moor, as is veteran defender David Unsworth, who has been offered a one-year deal as a player/coach with a remit to develop the club's younger players.

At the opposite end of the scale, Burnley-born striker Rodriguez, 18, has been offered a two-year contract after being fast-tracked into the first team picture this season along with fellow teenagers Adam Kay and Alex MacDonald, who have both been offered first year professional terms.

Coyle has also vowed to look at retaining the services of former England and Manchester United striker Andrew Cole, should Sunderland release the 36-year-old at the end of his current deal.

Finally, loan signings Mark Randall and Stanislav Varga have both returned to Arsenal and Sunderland respectively.

Coyle said: "I have spoken to all the players individually and having spoken to Brian (Jensen), James (O'Connor) and Jon (Harley), we have offered them deals.

"They have obviously got other interests though, so we await their replies.

"David (Unsworth) has been offered a one-year coaching deal as I feel he has a lot to offer this football club.

"His ability will be welcome on the coaching side of things, with regard to developing our young players, which is the way ahead.

"Within that, we would still retain his playing registration and again, we now await David's reply."

Coyle, who had already spoken of his intention to keep Cole following the former England striker's impressive six-goal contribution since arriving in late January, added: "Andrew goes back to Sunderland and if they decide not to offer him anything, then obviously we will have a chat."

Finally, in addition to John Spicer joining former Bournemouth team mate Garreth O'Connor in leaving Turf Moor, Mark Randall and Stanislav Varga have rejoined Arsenal and Sunderland respectively following loan spells.

Manager Coyle concluded: "We thank them for their services and wish them well."
