Burnley boss Dyche happy counting on Hennessey

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is pleased counting on new signing Wayne Hennessey.

The former Crystal Palace goalkeeper has stepped in just as Bailey Peacock-Farrell made a loan move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Dyche explained: “We like Bailey and we think he's producing and improving but we still think he needs more regular first-team football,.

“With Wayne coming in, he's an experienced pro and he gets it and I think he enjoyed being around the group, just to get that first feel."

Hennessey made his debut in the preseason friendly defeat of Oldham Athletic.
