Former Australia youth international Coe, 26, joined SonderjyskE from fellow Superliga outfit Randers late last month with shot-stopper David Ousted going in the opposite direction.

Coe, who left Australia as a teenager for Italian giants Inter Milan, has spent most of his career watching from the sidelines as a deputy and is desperate to finally play on a regular basis.

The ex-Brisbane Strikers goalkeeper has spent the past three years searching for a regular run with stints at PSV Eindhoven, FC Kobenhavn, Orgryte IS and Randers.

But Coe, who was last called up to the senior Socceroos squad in November 2007 for a friendly against Nigeria, believes his time has finally come after moving to SonderjyskE.

"I feel like I've done all the work as an apprentice now and now I feel it's time for me to play and put what I've learned from these people into use," he told kanalsport.dk.

"Any time you play is fantastic and that's what I've been wanting to do for a long time now.

"I'm looking forward to playing as much as possible and doing as best I can with SonderjyskE.

"So for me, I'm excited to be here and it's an exciting new chapter in my career."

One of Coe's new teammates at SonderjyskE, midfielder Rasmus Hansen, is confident the Aussie can replace the departed Ousted who had impressed during his time at the club.

"I think that Nathan Coe is a good goalkeeper who can replace Ousted . I am not nervous," Hansen told the SonderjyskE website.

Coe said the move to SonderjyskE, who are based in South Jutland, had been smooth.

"It's been great so far," he said. "It hasn't been a big move for me, it's just down the road from Randers.

"But everything's been great so far, the team has been fantastic, the coaching staff and everyone. It's been an easy move and it's been good, I've enjoyed the first week or so since I've been here.

"It's been fantastic."

Coe added he wasn't afraid of the pressure of being a number one goalkeeper for a top division club.

"Footballers want to play and part of being a footballer is pressure," he said. "But as long as you don't let the pressure get to you and bring you down, it's a good thing.

"Pressure keeps you on your toes and aware of what you need to do. I'm not afraid."

SonderjyskE, who have spent the past two seasons in the top division after winning promotion in 2008, finished ninth in the Superliga last term.

The new Danish Superliga campaign begins on July 17 with Coe's SonderjyskE taking on one of his former clubs in FC Kobenhavn.
