Swindon's Luongo relishing Socceroos World Cup opportunity

League One Swindon midfielder Massimo Luongo has set his sights on impressing at this summer's World Cup. The 21-year-old has been included in the Socceroos' 23-man squad for the trip to Brazil, despite only making one substitute appearance for his country.

And the former Tottenham trainee believes a good performance in Rio will help his career progression.

"I don't know if I will play much, if at all, but it can't hurt to get my name out there," he told BBC Wiltshire.

"I don't know if it's the right decision to leave Swindon or if I want to, because I enjoy being at the club, but we'll have to see. There might by options after the World Cup."
