Burnley midfielder David Jones has hailed the mentality inside the locker room.

Jones is no stranger to relegation battles having played for Derby, Wolves and Wigan prior to joining Burnley in the summer of 2013.

He singled out the mentality of Burnley's squad as the best he has experienced and believes the dominance of British players does help.

He said: "I've been part of very British teams and I've been part of teams where there's a lot more variation in nationalities. I feel here is the best I've been a part of.

"It might just be the personalities but I think everyone's got the same mentality, how the manager wants to play, and we all respond to that so that's a key thing.

"There's definitely something special here. It was demonstrated last season. I just think it's phenomenal how every game, everybody gives their all.

"We're competitive in every game and it's great to be part of that. I've been part of teams in the past where that isn't the case.

"Here it's a constant, we don't have to turn on a switch, we train the way we play. It's just something I believe in and it's easy for me to fit in."
