Burnley signing Taylor willing to fight for place

Matt Taylor is happy to fight for a place at Burnley.

Former West Ham United midfielder Taylor knows there are no guarantees for selection, despite the wealth of experience he brings.

"Personally, I just want to be on the teamsheet, but you have to earn that at any club you go to, so I will be working hard, as everybody will," he said. "Hopefully I can hold down a position in the team, but that will only come through hard work and earning the respect of the players here."

He added: "When I spoke to the manager here and had a good chat about his philosophy, it was a great move for me. I had three-and-a-half wonderful years at Bolton and I like this part of the country, so it was an easy decision to make."
