Brighton defender Shane Duffy has admitted he feared he would never play in the Premier League again.

Following a disappointing loan spell at Celtic last season, Duffy returned to the Seagulls line-up for Sunday's clash with Burnley.

Duffy played an important role in the 2-1 victory, telling The Argus after the final whistle: "After the year I had, I was in a really low place and thought the Premier League is probably over for me.

"But I have got good people around me and the club are so good for me and it feels like home for me.

"When I came back after my loan I had a big relief off my shoulders and I had felt like I had come home again and the comfort started to come back.

"The character I am, I have been proving people wrong all my career and that is what I have got to again, hit the restart button.

"That is what I have done really started from scratch again and try to prove people wrong again.

"It is only one game and a lot can still happen, but as long as I am here I'll try and help the team whether that's on the pitch or off the pitch with the younger lads that is what I am here to do."
