To improve, Caceres says kids need to spend as much time with a football as possible.

"That was my biggest hobby growing up - kicking the ball up against the wall, or even at the dinner table I'd have a ball at my feet," he said.

"To improve technically you just have to spend a lot of time in the backyard, with your family, your old man or your siblings and just kicking the ball around."

The midfielder had a season with Al-Wasl in the Middle East in 2017 and says he does want to test himself abroad again.

"Eventually I'd love to go and play in Uruguay," he admitted.

"I'm a massive supporter of Nacional and the club is a massive part of my family. For me to play there would mean the world to my old man and the rest of my family. That's top of my list, that's the dream.

"I guess if something else came up abroad it would be something I would always think about because to experience a different culture and a different way of life is something that really interests me, not just on the pitch but off it also... but as long as I'm in Australia, Sydney FC is where I want to be."
