Everton defender Shane Duffy admits recent weeks have been "crazy".

Duffy only returned to Everton in January following a four-month loan spell at League One Scunthorpe.

"Since I've come back it's been crazy," he told evertontv. "Coming on at White Hart Lane, starting the next game at Villa Park, then just playing - and now this has just taken it up an extra step.

"The loan spell has done me well, given me the confidence to believe in myself and play. When you come back and you're playing with better players every day you just realise that you've got to step it up and hopefully I have.

"Getting a call up for your country, you can't be more proud than that. It's been crazy since the New Year but I'm loving every minute of it."
