Curtis Good is hoping to get another chance in English football when he leaves Newcastle United this summer.
The 25-year-old will leave Newcastle after six injury-plagued seasons this summer, having failed to make the jump from the under-23s to the first team.
Good joined as a 19-year-old from Melbourne Heart in 2012 and was tipped to have a bright future at Newcastle.
But he has made just two appearances for the first team - one in the 2013 League Cup win at Morecambe and the other in last season’s 3-0 FA Cup defeat at Oxford.
Nonetheless, the Australian international still feels he has what it takes to succeed in the English game and he is hopeful he can secure a new club this summer.
“I definitely will be moving on,” Good told Fox Sports Australia.
“It’ll be good for a change, obviously getting back to playing senior football is the biggest thing for me, the next step.
“I definitely want to stay in the UK. I want to give it another crack at the highest level. I feel like I had a great opportunity that was upset with my situation.
“It’ll be nice to go on trial somewhere if the opportunity comes up. The biggest thing is people seeing that you can play, and I’ve played over 20 games this season.
“I’d like to come home, but maybe when I’m older.”
Good’s time at Newcastle has been plagued by injury.
Hip problems kept him out of contention for large periods of his six-year stay at the club, although he has managed to be a mainstay in the under-23 side this season.
He still feels he is capable of making the step up to Newcastle’s first team but admits a new challenge may be the making of him.
“A big thing from my perspective is I associate a lot of my time at Newcastle with this injury, and maybe subconsciously people do here as well, and that’s a big reason I’m looking for a change,” Good added.
“I’ve had so many years here on the physio table and you’re just looking for that change, you don’t want to be known as the player who was injured. “I have no issue whatsoever. If I got called up (to the first-team) tomorrow I could sit in there and do a job easy, I feel anyway.”
