Burnley boss Sean Dyche is full of pride over the development of their lower league signings.

Dyche's lower league bargains have proved invaluable to Burnley's prolonged stay in the top flight.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope and centre half James Tarkowski have progressed from Championship players to England internationals and midfielder Josh Brownhill has proved an identikit Clarets signing after making 150 appearances for Bristol City.

"We have a lot of good stories and Browny is showing clear signs he's got a real desire to be successful,"said Dyche, whose side have climbed out of the relegation zone after four unbeaten games.

"Credit to the scouts. We'd seen a lot of clips, did lot of background and got him in. It took him a bit of time to get used to the edge we want from players here and he has taken everything on.

"He's a fit lad, has a real good attitude - one of many here who has. The thing is everyone wants things instantly these days. We can't work like that, we buy them, polish them up a bit.

"Look at Tripps (Kieran Trippier) and Keano (Michael Keane) or Andre (Gray). We did that and got big returns on them, Ingsy (Danny Ings) as well. I like that side of what we do and the side the players play in it.

"Browny is another sign of that desire to take your chance when it comes your way – the chance to show you can be a bona fide Premier League player."
