Jay Rodriguez happy to be back at Burnley

Jay Rodriguez is happy to be back at Burnley.

The striker's career has gone full circle, having re-joined the club he played for as a boy this summer.

"I always looked out for Burnley because my family and friends are from Burnley," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"You try to keep in touch with a few people. It's been really nice to see faces I haven't seen for years and catch up with them.

"It feels like home. When I finish training I'm back home. When you live away for so long you do miss out on family and friends.

"I think this club has totally changed in the right direction. I totally feel like a part of it, I feel lucky and I'm excited to get going with it.

"To come back here is a real buzz for myself and my family. Putting that kit on again was a little bit surreal. It's such a good feeling and I just want to do well for the team. I just want to get on with it now."
