    Rob Edwards has turned down an approach from Burnley, leaving the Clarets still looking for a new manager.

    Edwards, who was surprisingly sacked as Wolves head coach earlier this month, had been a candidate for the Turf Moor job.

    He was under consideration even while Burnley pursued Craig Bellamy to replace Scott Parker, only for Bellamy to have a last-minute change of heart and opt to stay with Wales.

    It means Burnley remain without a manager two months after Parker's departure following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

    Burnley's squad were due to return for pre-season fitness checks on Monday and will travel to the United States for a tour next month, with their first game, against FC Cincinnati, on 11 July.

    Edwards was available after his Wolves exit, which came after the club had backed the 43-year-old, despite relegation from the Premier League.

    He joined from Middlesbrough in November, with the club turning to their former defender to stabilise them and bring them back to the top flight, but he was replaced by Portuguese coach Cesar Peixoto.

    Dundee have signed midfielder Ryan Finnigan from Blackpool for an undisclosed fee.

    The 22-year-old made 10 appearances for Blackpool last season, either side of a 26-game loan spell at Walsall, where he scored four goals.

    "Ryan is a player that we have pursued and monitored for the past 12 months and is has taken a lot of hard work from our recruitment team," manager Steven Pressley told club media.

    "We also know there was strong interest in Ryan from other clubs in England, so we are obviously delighted to finally get him in the building.

    "He most recently had a very successful loan at Walsall where I was able to witness first hand when watching my son, his qualities. He is a player we believe has a huge ceiling."
