An injury-plagued season saw Caldwell fall out of favour at Sunderland and the centre half rarely featured in Roy Keane’s first team when fit. He was linked with a move away from the club – with Sunderland accepting bids from Championship rivals Burnley and Coventry City. Caldwell signed for Burnley for £400,000 with just 9 minutes of the transfer window remaining. He was shortly thereafter named club captain and endeared himself to the team’s fans with his uncompromising tackling and commitment.
