Mebrahtu made 63 A-League appearances with three different clubs but only managed five goals.

He said a key factor in his success at Mlada Boleslav was that he was being played in his preferred position.

“One of the things that has helped is I’m playing in my preferred position as a central striker,” he said.

“They think that’s my best position and that’s my preferred position. I’m enjoying myself learning my trade and very hungry to keep improving.

“The coach, the club and my teammates have had that belief in me. They believe in my talent and character. I want to repay that faith and keep scoring goals.”

As for sitting in the top echelon of goal scorers in the Czech Liga, Mebrahtu said it was a nice accolade but he wasn’t settling.

“It’s fantastic, I’m happy with my season so far,” he said.

“I know I’ve got a lot to improve on. I’m very hungry to score more goals. Statistically it’s been an improvement on my season last year.

“I just want to keep getting better and better, hopefully that’ll lead to bigger and better things in my career.”
