Scott Arfield "proud" to reach Burnley landmark

Scott Arfield has admitted that racking up a century of appearances for Burnley is an achievement he is extremely proud of.

The 26-year-old reached the landmark figure in the Clarets' 2-1 win away at Rotherham United on Friday night.

Having featured in the Premier League last term for the club that he joined on a free transfer in 2013, Arfield has now targeted more happy memories during his years ahead at Turf Moor.

"It's a terrific stat to be fair as I've done it in under three seasons and it's a great landmark," he told Burnley's official website. "I'm proud of that and I just want to keep going now.

"I tried to get a goal to mark it but it wasn't to be and the most important thing is to get the three points. I was saying afterwards how it seems a long time since that trip to Cork before I joined and I got on with the boys really well and scored over there.

"There have been so many ups and downs but mostly it's been highs and once you get a taste of that top level you want to be back up there."

Arfield has previously enjoyed spells at Huddersfield Town and Falkirk during his eight-year senior career.
