Burnley back-up keeper happy to be patient

Burnley's reserve goalkeeper Diego Penny is relishing the opportunity to make his mark in the Premier League next season. Penny has been forced to look on from the bench with Brian Jensen the undisputed Clarets No.1, with the former Coronel Bolognesi man making just one appearance last season. Despite his lack of action, the Peru international has no regrets over his move to Turf Moor and is happy to bide his time for a chance to impress manager Owen Coyle. He told Depor: "I am in contract at Burnley until 2011 and besides that I have been a substitute of Brian Jensen. I trust in that I will have my chance in the Premier League. "Being in the principle division of England will surely give me the chance to play more frequently. "Thank God we got promoted to the Premier League and now I trust that everything will be better, I only have to be patient and keep on working. "The coach of the team trusts in me and I have personally learnt many things since I arrived to English football last year."
