Burnley whizkid McNeil ready to build on breakout season

Dwight McNeil wants to improve on his debut season for Burnley.

The teenager made a great impression as he grabbed the first team opportunities handed to him.

He managed three goals in 25 games for the Clarets in a season that ended with survival in the Premier League.

Now he wants to build on that success next term.

"We've got a very good team and it's all about competition and keeping your spot," the England Under 20 international said to reporters.

"It's a great bunch of lads and they've been fantastic again this season.

"Hopefully I can just keep playing, that's the main thing.

"I'll just try and let my ability take over and just keep doing what I'm doing.

"It would be great to be a part of things again next season."
