Former Chelsea midfielder Kyle Scott hopes to put down roots at Newcastle United.
The free transfer spent the first half of last season on loan at Dutch side Telstar, Scott believes the experience has helped him as he sets his sights on playing regular football again.
I went to Holland last year. I decided to come back in January. it was my decision I just felt it wasn't the right place for me," he explained to nufc.co.uk. It always prepares you though it's men's football at the end of the day so no matter where you are, it's a different thing. Over there, it was a good experience you learn different things, and even living out there in a different country, it builds you as a character."
The central midfielder has American and Italian grandparents, and also has some Irish links on his father's side of the family.
He has represented England, the Republic of Ireland and the USA internationally during his teenage years, but Scott who could make his debut for the under-23s in Monday's pre-season friendly at Rotherham United says he's fully focused on making his mark with the Magpies.
He added: At the moment, I'm more focussed on getting back to regular football because it's been a while, and making my stature here and seeing where that goes."
