O’Shea joins the club on a four-year deal – keeping him at Turf Moor until at least summer 2027.
The Dublin-born defender played over a hundred times for the Baggies, including their 2020/21 season in the Premier League.
On signing for the club O’Shea said, “It feels great to be here and I really can’t wait to get going.”
“Burnley were the outstanding team last season and they achieved exceptional things.”
“I want to improve as a player first and foremost and I want to help the club achieve their goals.”
“I’m at the stage of my career now when I want to push myself. I want to be the best I can be and this is the club that can help me do that and I can help them too.”
Burnley FC manager Vincent Kompany added “It’s great to welcome Dara to Burnley and we know he can play a big part in the progression of our football club. Strong at the back as well as confident moving forward, a leader with experience and knowledge of playing at the highest level.”
“Dara will be a great addition to our squad and we can’t wait to start working with him.”
He becomes the second defender to join the Clarets on a permanent basis this summer after Jordan Beyer put pen to paper last month.
