Conor Clifford proud of his time with Chelsea

Conor Clifford has no regrets over his time with Chelsea.

The midfielder is currently playing in Ireland with Dundalk.

He recalled to RTE: "Lampard really took me under his wing when I was there. I looked up to him and I used to speak to him and ask him a lot of questions.

"We'd sit down together at lunch. I'd try to get in his ear and talk to him. I did a lot of staying back with him and finishing and all of that stuff.

"When [Carlo] Ancelotti was there I was training with the first-team every day. Lampard, Terry, all of them.

"It was a brilliant experience to have that. I was telling my friends back home and they would think I was having them on!"
