Burnley signing Walters reveals secret to longevity

Jon Walters is happy to put in the hard yards at Burnley.

He brings with him to Turf Moor a reputation for a ferocious workrate, an attribute that should see him fit in well in Sean Dyche's side.

A £2million addition from Stoke, Walters believes that ability to go a little bit further than your opposite number is a key ingredient in Burnley's success.

“It's a special quality if you can outwork a player, they might be technically better than you but if you can outwork them it's pretty satisfying," the Republic of Ireland international told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

“We all know that the work rate the team put in is testament to the staff behind the scenes, they keep the lads injury free and they're very fit.

“That's the type of workrate I like and can bring to the team day in and day out."
