Scott Sinclair is ready to see action for West Bromwich Albion against Swansea City.
After playing the 90 minutes of Tuesday's Capital One Cup win over Newport, Sinclair is now eager to revive his career.
"At the end of the day I just want to play football," said Sinclair.
"Every player wants to be at a top team, but you get so frustrated when you don't get an opportunity. You build up to nothing.
"With so many good players at City it was always going to be tough to break into the side, but it was frustrating not to get a chance to show the fans what I could do.
"But that is the way football goes, and hopefully I can get my career back on track, and I don't see it as a come down coming here.
"I want to get back to enjoying my football, being happy, and it is better for me to be playing for West Brom every week rather than being on the bench at Manchester City."
Sinclair has also had to overcome the scare of a blood clot detected in his shoulder in May which resulted in him requiring surgery and a rib removed.
"That was a shock, a very big shock," added Sinclair.
"I was out for a couple of months after that, so it's not been a good year for me, but hopefully now being here I can get my career back on track.
"I'm getting back my match fitness, enjoying my football and I want to simply play every weekend."
