Taylor Tombides, younger brother of the late Dylan Tombides, is hoping to break into Championship club Hull City's senior squad in 2015-16 after joining the Tigers from West Ham United.
Tombides, 19, was released by the Hammers in May and has made the move north to Steve Bruce's team, who were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season.
The winger has penned a one-year deal at the KC Stadium, where he's hopeful of making a name for himself in the coming campaign.
"I think the chance is there to break into the senior squad this season," Tombides told SBS.
"I just need to keep working on a few things and get a little bit sharper and a little bit better.
"I have been training with the Under-21s and the first team have been away in Austria - but with the season coming close now, I am hoping to get the chance to train with senior boys."
"This is a very important year for me ... the chance to show myself and hopefully land a long-term contract.
"There's a good feeling around the club. The belief is they can get back to the top division either this year or the next. They have a good squad and are going to do well in the Championship."

Tombides was reluctant to leave West Ham, but, having failed to break into the senior side at Upton Park, knew it was time to try his luck elsewhere.
"It was upsetting to have to move on but my career wasn't going anywhere there so it was time to move on and it's worked out perfectly getting another club so soon," he said.
"I thank West Ham for everything they did for me, but it was time to go. I have definitely progressed since coming here and I think I'm a lot more of a player than I was a year or so ago.
"I am improving every day and I am just waiting now for the opportunity to be able to prove it."
