Ireland's Stephen Ward satisfied he made the right choice

Ward spent the 2013/14 season on loan at Brighton from Wolves.

Republic of Ireland defender Stephen Ward has no regrets about snubbing promotion rivals Brighton in favour of joining Burnley 18 months ago.

But the 30-year-old's decision would be further vindicated if Burnley triumph in Saturday's Sky Bet Championship top-of-the-table clash and open up a seven-point gap between the two sides.
