Manchester City midfielder Micah Hamilton is delighted with his progress this season.

Hamilton is now a first teamer after making his domestic and European debuts.

“Looking back on the experiences, you know, you kind of dream of doing things like that," he told City's website.

“Scoring in Belgrade, it was difficult to put into words what that was like.

“But going right back to when I was first named in the senior squad for the game at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup last September, I remember that I was just so happy to be around the squad and to see the atmosphere and what goes on.

“The day before, our EDS head coach Brian Barry-Murphy came into the gym as I was doing some work with the rest of the Under 21s to tell me the news I was in the squad and he was kind of shouting it as it was so loud there!

“He was shouting, and everyone else was hearing then clapping and congratulating me.

“It's something that you kind of dream of doing. Obviously, I didn't get on in that game, but I was just so happy to be part of the squad.

“I tried to take everything in from an experience point of view.

“All the pre-match prep - that might not like mean so much to some people - but little things like that are a big thing.

“Staying in the team hotel, the team talk, the warm-ups, the travel to the stadium and the atmosphere at the game… it was all amazing and really good preparation for what's happened since.

“It has all been a bit surreal really."
