Everton youngster Ben Godfrey has opened up about his season in and out of the team.
The young defender has not always been a favorite of manager Sean Dyche over the past 18 months.
However, Godfrey is seen as one for the future and he hopes that he can play much more next term.
Godfrey, speaking to the Liverpool Echo, stated: It is so important as players that, when you go through a period of not playing, that you train hard.
Just because it is so hard to emulate that game fitness when you are not playing so the work that you do on the training pitch throughout the week is so important.
That was my mindset through the period I went through of not playing and just being ready, as fit as I can, as sharp as I can and I emphasize that to myself every day."
