“Now I’m looking forward, as I say, to what the future is, to keep challenging myself and the position.”

Heaton, who won his first cap for England in the friendly with Australia in May and was part of the Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 squad, added to Clarets Player:  “It was certainly a dream of mine to get a cap. To get it is incredible and it’s made me hungry for more. 

“I really want to kick on and push that boundary now and see where I can get to. 

“I want to get better. I still feel like I’ve got more to come, still want to achieve more and all that comes from hard work. 

“If things come with that, then great, but I think the focus will always be on putting the work on the training pitch and seeing where it takes me.”
