Burnley defender Jon Harley has vowed to keep his place in manager Owen Coyle's starting line-up at Turf Moor.The former Chelsea and Fulham man is first-choice left-back at the Championship club but is refusing to rest on his laurels.

Harley has only six months remaining on his Burnley contract and, although his wish is to remain with the Clarets, his next step is uncertain.

However, he said: "I am enjoying it and I feel I'm playing okay, so I just want to try to stay in the team now.

"It's horrible being a footballer and not playing.

"During my career that has happened a lot, but I never want that to happen again and that's why it's important for me to take every game as though it is my last one."
