Brymora has joined Millwall's Under-23s on a short-term deal until the end of this year.

The 18-year old left Newcastle Jets at the end of the last A-League season to try his hand in Europe. After several trials he landed a deal with the Lions in August.

"I'm loving it at the moment," Brymora told FourFourTwo.

"English football is just a massive honour for me. It's totally different to Australian football. I've been at Millwall for a month and half now and all the people have been really welcoming, it's all a good bunch of lads.

"From a football-perspective I've learned so much since I've been here it's unbelievable."

Brymora has made three appearances for Millwall's Under-23s and scored a goal against Sheffield United.

 



The centre forward said he is learning plenty at the Den, including off fellow Australian James Meredith.

"I've gotten to know him a little bit," Brymora said.

"He's a really nice guy and it's just nice to know someone from home, and hear another Aussie accent. I had a chat with him and about how he got himself over here. He said the first year is really difficult. I've only been here for three months and I've found it really hard.

"He said you're going to miss home and all these sorts of things, but stick with it. And obviously just looking at him and what he's been through, it has turned out well. I just kind of want to work myself up to where he's gone.

"That's the thing for a lot of Aussie boys, I hear stories about boys getting homesick and wanting to go home, and just not being up to it. I don't want to be like that, I want to make a good impact and show that young Aussie players can make it over here.

"It's not all about playing in Australia, you are able to make a space over here, whether it's England or somewhere else."

Brymora was born in western Sydney but grew up in the Hunter. He came through the Emerging Jets program and Newcastle's National Youth League side, before making his A-League debut for the Jets in the 2016/2017 season.

He admits he has always harboured the ambition of playing in Europe.

"It's always been in the back of my mind," he said.

"Every young boy's dream is to play in Europe and to be like your Tim Cahill, your Harry Kewell, your Mark Viduka. The boys that have come over here and given it a shot. I was given an opportunity at the Jets last year and I was quite young, only 17.

"Training every day there with the first team gave me a lot of experience and made me mentally and physically stronger."

Brymora is hoping to earn a full-time professional contract with Millwall for 2018. He said he has been inspired by Cahill's journey, which started at the south London club as a 17-year old in 1997.

"That's the long-term goal," he said.

"Now that I've settled in here I like the way the first-team plays, everything that goes on at the club. I'm definitely going to look to sign another contract here if I can.

"I read Tim Cahill's book and his story about how he came here and what Millwall gave to him. I just linked it all together and thought this is a good opportunity. I was on trial at a few clubs but when I came here I just felt good, among everything.

"I'm just going to see what comes over the next couple of months, see what impact I can make and see what comes from it."
