Burnley defender Kevin Long determined to build on Premier League breakthrough

Burnley defender Kevin Long is determined to build on his Premier League breakthrough this season.

Long started the final three Premier League games of the season.

“We all work hard in training, even when we're not playing," he said.

“Keano and Ben Mee have been brilliant so I've just had to keep working hard and waiting for these opportunities.

“They've come now, I've done well to get a call up too, so hopefully I can do more and push on again.

“Every footballer wants to play football so all I can do is keep training hard and hopefully I'll keep getting more opportunities.

“It's what I've been training for. I've been working hard for these opportunities and thankfully they're starting to come along."
