Manchester City's Welsh whizkid Emyr Huws is delighted to be part of the club's senior touring squad.
Huws admits he's using his time with the first teamers as a gauge to where he stands for the coming season.
"It's a great chance for me to make an impact," he told the Manchester Evening News.
"I am not expecting too much from this season, I just want to improve myself, and work day by day to try and get more opportunities.
"I will have a better idea of what next season holds for me when I get back - whether I go on loan again, or stick with the under-21s for a bit."
