Coyne has endured an unlucky run in making the international squad, which has lasted 8 years and 4 clubs. However, he is now thrilled at being recognised as a quality player. Speaking on the FFA website, Coyne said, "It's been nice; it's always been one of my aspirations in the game to represent my country.
"I think it should be everyone's aspiration and pinnacle of their career and to be given the opportunity to come and train with the boys for the week and see how it goes is fantastic."
