My Western Sydney Wanderers ambition

It’s coming up for 14 years since I was away and it’s nice to be back in Australia. I’m not used to playing in such nice temperatures, so it’s awesome to be back and waking up to sunshine, rather than training in the snow where you can’t feel your toes. It’s great knowing that you’ve got the best job in the world. I feel very blessed and grateful to be able to play football everyday

Being at the Western Sydney Wanderers first and foremost the goal is to win the league and the Championship. For me personally, I want to play as many games as I can and try and do well enough each game so that I’m picked the next week. That’s my focus at the moment.

Coming to the A-League I don’t think I’ve got anything to prove to anybody. I’m here to do a job for the Wanderers and better myself as a player and improve as a player. That’s my outlook on life to just enjoy playing football. I’m so privileged and lucky, there are millions of kids that would love to be where I am. The fact that I’ve got this chance to play football means I’m waking up every morning and going to training and looking at it like it’s an absolute privilege and I’m honoured to do it.

Tony Popovic is a great manager and a great man and he installed a lot of his coaching knowledge into all of us during the pre-season so we are just carrying on the philosophy of what he passed on to us. He started this club from scratch so it’s only fair he gets a chance to better his career. Everyone is sticking together. Hayden Foxe is a great coach and he’s doing a great job as a manager. Nothing changes with Popa leaving really, it’s just business as usual.
