Sydney FC midfielder Brandon O’Neill says he has had no contact from new Republic of Ireland manager Mick McCarthy yet about switching his allegiance to Ireland.
O'Neill has played every game of the A-League season for Sydney FC with the club third on the table.
The midfielder has been happy with the Sky Blues' start but believes they can get better.
"It’s been really good," he said. "We’ve started the season extremely well – getting to an FFA Cup final, winning some tough games on the road and been in and around the top of the league for a while.
"It’s a pleasing start but there’s a to improve on and get better at. We’re looking forward to getting better and achieving success. It’s a good start but we believe we can get a lot better."
O'Neill said new coach Steve Corica has not changed much since taking over at Sydney FC from Graham Arnold.
"A lot of things, in terms of the club, how we operate, how we go into a game, how we train, a lot of that has stayed the same, which is really good because its bred success in the past," he said.
"We have a really good culture here, winning is what we’re focused on and that’s what we want to do. We also want an environment where you can succeed both individally and as a team. Bimbi’s a lot quieter person than Arnie, he has his own way of getting points across.
"But he’s very knowledgable, he’s such a good person as well to work under. The people that we’ve brought in this season have only added to the quality of Sydney FC, both as players and as people."
