Shane Duffy is delighted that Brighton had enough belief in him to succeed in the Premier League.

Duffy did not make it at Everton at youth level, but he got a second chance at Brighton.

He wants to enjoy his time with Ireland before helping Brighton move up the Premier League table in the winter.

Duffy said to The Argus: "You have just got to have that mentality of not giving up.

"I had it tough early on in my career, where it was going from high to low and I didn't really know where I was going.

"But I just stuck at it and luckily enough, I found a club where they believed in me and they gave me the chance to play at the top level.

"There were low days when you're thinking, 'Are you good enough?'. You question yourself.

"But you get yourself around good people, you work hard."Shane Duffy is delighted that Brighton had enough belief in him to succeed in the Premier League.
