Colchester captain Chris Coyne says he's open to a move back home to Perth Glory. "I've always wanted to come back and play in the A-League because I left home at such a young age," he said.
"Obviously being a Perth boy I'd love to come home and play for Perth.
"It could be six weeks, or six months or six years, but I've got a box to tick and it's something I'd like to do sooner rather than later."
Coyne is joined by fellow West Australians Richard Garcia (Hull City) and Michael Petkovic (Sivasspor) in the Socceroos squad as the WA drought of recent years begins to break.
"There is three of us now which is nice," Coyne said.
"We've all had a pretty much had a very similar upbringing in the game in WA so it's definitely good for West Australian football to show that if you do the right things and work hard that the progression's there.
"I suppose we are flying the flag for Perth and WA and it's something that does make us proud, but we need more WA boys to push on and keep the flag flying."
