Former Swansea City midfielder Jack Cork is delighted to be reunited with Sean Dyche at Burnley.

The 28-year-old midfielder is a player Dyche knows well, with the Burnley boss having been working with Watford's development squad when a teenage Cork spent time on loan at Vicarage Road.

Eight years have passed since that first meeting between the pair, but Cork said he always believed Dyche would go to be a successful manager.

“He was at Watford briefly when I was there," he said. “You could tell he had that sort of personality and mentality to push on to be a manager in his own right.

“I know there's going to be a lot of hard work but it will be fun at times. We'll enjoy it and hopefully we'll have a good season together.

“It is nice to feel (wanted) like that and it's nice to have that trust in someone that they believe that they can bring you back and do a job. Hopefully I can repay that faith this season and see how we go."
