“I think the more the boys come in and the more we play together each game, it only gets better. I have every confidence especially with our players coming in.

“Keisuke has been playing consistently now which is always good and Ola has just come back in which is a huge bonus, so I think the more we have our players, then the better we’re going to be.”

Donachie in training

Donachie knows Korean football well now after spending half a year with Jeonnam Dragons, who got relegated.

The 25-year-old has now played four Victory games since returning to AAMI Park.

“I learnt a lot over there,” Donachie said. “We got relegated in the end which is why I came home and that’s how that panned out. It was a good experience, but returning was the best option.

"It’s good football over there, it’s a hard competition and we played in a relegation battle which was pretty intense.”

But Donachie also admitted he’d like to have a stint in Japan one day.

“Anything is an option, I said to Broxy the other day it was an option,” he said. “It’s up to me on how well I play. The better you play, the more people come to watch.

"Like any footballer, you can only assess with options on the table.

“After the season we had here, I thought it was a good time to go because I accomplished what I wanted to here and that was what was on the table.

“It was time to do something different and try something in a new league which is something I really wanted to do and it was only a positive. I came back here for the six-month loan period and I’ve improved as a player which is good.”
