“It’s been amazing. I haven’t played as much as I would have liked, but I came here not fit, not 100%. I’m happy though to have contributed a couple of goals – one of which was to keep the streak alive.

"I'm so happy to be here. The boys are amazing, the team's amazing. And the fans are absolutely amazing. The support I’ve had since I’ve been here has been incredible. Even when I was playing at Swansea, I knew the Burnley fans were amazing.”

The Republic of Ireland international said Tuesday’s victory parade was the icing on the cake on an unforgettable Championship campaign – but he was already looking ahead to next season.

“Next season we go hard at it. [The Premier League] doesn’t intimidate me. I want to become the best player that I possibly can.

"Even on the first day of training I could see what the lads were top of the league – and I’m happy that I’ve played a part maintaining that. Everybody here deserves this reward. We enjoy it now, but then it's about next season; and we will put on a show for the fans.”
