Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood: I'm now enjoying my football

Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood is happy with his progress at Turf Moor.

The midfielder has had to be patient since his £5million move from Aston Villa in January 2017, but a knee injury to Steven Defour midway through last season handed him the chance to impress.

“I didn't really play as much as I wanted to early on but that's down to the team, Steven and Corky have been tremendous, Corky especially," Westwood told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“Unfortunately for Steven he got injured and that gave me my chance but we're a group in there, we're all backing each other.

“When you're in or out of the team there's no disappointments, we just get on with it.

“I'm really enjoying my football now."
