Barry Bannan feels he has a future at Aston Villa.
Martin O'Neill's resignation resulted in more opportunities for Bannan under reserve team mentor Kevin MacDonald and he hopes his prospects are similarly positive under the new boss.
"We're a bit short of numbers so it's good to be here because you get the chance to impress," Bannan told the Sunday Mercury.
"I'm still young so I've got plenty of time. I'm going to try my hardest and hopefully get a break somewhere along the line
"I'd love to be involved with Villa, sometimes there's too many players in your position so you just have to move on.
"But I'm going to hopefully get a few chances and I've just got to take them really - if not I'm to blame."
