Burnley striker Steven Fletcher is delighted with the way his career in England has started, following his summer move south from Hibernian.
The 22-year-old Scotland international has scored six times in 14 appearances for the Clarets, as Burnley have made a fine start to life back in the top flight of English football.
Fletcher told the Glasgow Herald: "It is amazing down here, even better than I imagined.
"With Hibs you went to the same places again and again. Suddenly, I'm playing massive games in massive venues every week.
"I have to admit that when I arrived down here and we made a really slow start in pre-season, I wondered what I'd let myself in for.
"Then we lost our first league game at Stoke, but the first home game changed everything. If we'd lost to Manchester United, we might have ended up a bit despondent.
"But it was a midweek night, the atmosphere was incredible and as everyone knows, we beat them.
"For a club which has just been promoted from the Championship it's a huge challenge, but we're doing okay so far. We're making progress bit by bit.
"People were putting pressure on us about our away record, for now we've gone to a big club like Manchester City, drawn 3-3 and probably should have won."
