Michael Keane: I owe Burnley coaches for England debut

Michael Keane says he owes Burnley for his England debut.

Keane paid tribute to the work Sean Dyche, Ian Woan and Tony Loughlan have done with him at Burnley in helping him realise his international dream.

“I think I've improved massively defensively. I feel like the gaffer, Woany and Tone have drilled in to me every day the need to defend right and do the basics well; heading it, clearing it, organising," the 24-year-old said.

“I feel like I've become more of a leader on the pitch and I feel much more confident from playing games and getting all that experience. I've come on leaps and bounds since I've been here but I know that I've got to keep improving and there's a lot more to come."
