The Championship side announced the signing of South African international from Belgian side K.V.C. Westerlo for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old striker has penned a four-and-a-half-year deal at Turf Moor.
The 6ft 2in forward has scored eight goals this season and assisted three, and will play under former Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany at Burnley.
"I'm very happy to be here, I’m blessed and thankful for the opportunity and I just can’t wait to get started,” Foster told the club’s website.
“From the moment I heard that there was interest from Burnley, my heart and my head were set on the club. I’m so happy to be here now. It’s a dream for me.”
