Burnley fullback Matt Lowton is happy to fight for his spot next season.

Lowton is ready for more competition next season after his battle for Burnley's right back spot with Phil Bardsley.

"It's always good to have competition, it keeps you working hard and keeps you on your toes," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"Phil's a great player. The squad mentality we've got here, whoever's playing the lads are right behind them.

"He's proved himself throughout the season and he's paid us back but we'll see next season, hopefully I can stay in the team."
