Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton has hailed Michael Duff as the best pro he's played with.

The former Manchester United heaped praise on Duff, who is due a testimonial this summer.

"I'd probably say that (he's the best professional I've worked with)," Heaton, 28, told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. "He's played an awful lot of games, he's very experienced and he understands it well.

"He's a brilliant character in the dressing room.

"He gets it right in training, he lives his life well. His performances since I've been at the club have been outstanding.

"His attitude has got to be a big factor. You can't get away with not being right all the time, especially as you get a bit older."
