Burnley striker Nahki Wells insists no Huddersfield regrets

Nahki Wells wants to stay with Burnley.

The striker moved to the Clarets in a £5million deadline day switch from Huddersfield last August.

“I probably could have stayed and featured far more at Huddersfield. But I couldn't turn down the opportunity of moving to a more established Premier League club," Wells told Bermuda's Royal Gazette newspaper.

“There was uncertainty at Huddersfield; I had a year left on my contract and there was also a lot of political stuff going on behind the scenes that people don't know about.

“I've no regrets at all. It's easy to have regrets and it was nice to see Huddersfield stay up. It would have been a bit easier in hindsight being at Huddersfield and I could have had a far better season.

“Looking back I wouldn't change my decision; I'm just disappointed with how it panned out. I just look at this as being one of the bad years of my career, although there were still a lot of positives. I've been playing in front of 70 and 80,000 every other week. It's a great experience."

He added: “I don't have any doubts about my capabilities at this level. It's just a case of proving I deserve some opportunities. The pre-season is a fresh start for me and I like to think the manager sees it that way as well."
