Jay Rodriguez: Changes at Burnley just unbelievable

Jay Rodriguez is delighted with his return to Burnley this season.

He was thrilled as a youngster, when he broke into the first team and was part of Owen Coyle's side which won promotion to the Premier League in 2009, ending the Clarets' 33-year exile from the top flight.

Back then the players had to change at Turf Moor before driving to train at Gawthorpe Hall and they did not have the state-of-the-art facilities the current generation enjoy now.

“The journey the club's been on is incredible," he told the Mirror. “This is a well-established Premier League side and the facilities they have are top notch.

“We used to get changed at Turf Moor, drive to the training ground, then get back in the car and drive back to Turf Moor to get showered. That was just the norm.

“The change is unbelievable."
