Melbourne Heart goalkeeper Clint Bolton is expecting big things with his new club.

The 34-year old shot-stopper signed with the incoming A-League club from reigning champions Sydney FC in February and after commencing training with his new teammates admits he is very excited about being a part of a brand new club once again.

"It's exciting, the start of something new," he said. "I remember back in Sydney when it all started and all the buzz.

"You start with something small and you build - and we ended up with two Championships.

"I'm expecting similar things here in Melbourne with Heart. I'm an open book, you can read me pretty easily. It's all over my face, I'm pretty excited to be here and excited by the new challenge.

"Coming off the back of a Championship, I'm just hungry for more.

"The squad we're putting together, the coaching staff, the set-up so far. There's no reason we can't compete in the first year and hopefully test out the teams that are there now.

"I'm excited."
