Heitinga backing Duffy for Everton success

Everton defender Johnny Heitinga is convinced of big things from youngster Shane Duffy.

He believes 20-year-old Duffy has done enough to suggest he can have a long-term future at Everton.

"Shane's young but his performances were really good," says the Dutch international. "In my eyes he's not shy, he listens well and his development is good for him, good for the club and for the future."
