"It is difficult because if they don’t want you, or if you’re not performing, then you’re out the door. So it is very cut-throat. A whole new board came in at Ararat Yerevan and we had four changes of coach this year.

"A new director, new staff and it was a complete turnaround. For me it was important that I was playing. And if I’m not playing I’m not too concerned about my contract, if I’m not playing then I’d prefer to go.

"[But] I definitely wouldn’t take it back – it was fantastic. I don’t regret anything. I got my first professional minutes in Europe. I made my debut at 19 in the Armenian league, so overall it was a success. I think it gives me a good stepping stone for looking for somewhere else."

Trajkoski played as a central midfielder in Armenia but is primarily a number 10 or winger.

The attacker has returned home to Australia in the off-season and is considering his next move.

"I’m open to anything," he admitted.

"I’d love to stay in Europe, hopefully at a high level. But I’m open to the A-League, I’d love to play at home."
