Sydney FC star targets Socceroo start

The 24-year-old enjoyed his first taste of the national setup when he was selected in Coach, Pim Verbeek?s squad for last month?s Asian Cup qualifier against Indonesia.  He didn?t make the final 15 for the Jakarta match but is looking forward to again pressing his claims in Canberra.
?Being in camp with the Socceroos last month was a great experience for me and I?m honoured to have another opportunity to represent my country,? said Cole.  ?I?ll just be giving it everything I?ve got at training and if I get the chance to play then I?ll take it with both hands.?
Twenty-four players, all from the Hyundai A-League have been named in the squad for Australia?s second AFC Asian Cup qualifier.
The clash with Kuwait will be played at Canberra Stadium at 8:00pm on Thursday, March 5.
