It is hard to believe Lydia Sallaway has only been at Glasgow City for a fortnight.
The young defender has embraced everything life in Scotland has to offer, both on and off the pitch, since joining on loan from Women's Super League side Aston Villa.
On the day her signing was announced, the 18-year-old would make her debut, coming on as a late substitute in our Sky Sports Cup semi-final win against Hibernian. Not a bad introduction to Scottish football.
It may have been a cameo appearance but a strong defensive header provided a glimpse of what the youngster can offer.
And with Lydia joining at a period in the season, where we are fighting on three domestic fronts - with the defender aiming to make her full debut at home against Stenhousemuir in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup this weekend, she insists there is no place she'd rather be.
“I love the team," the England youth international tells us. "Training is good and everyone just works hard for each other. We are all very much together.
“Everyone has been really welcoming, and it’s just a good environment. It’s such a positive team, and that shows in our position in the league and the results the team have had throughout the season.
“I never want to be in a bad environment because I play my best when I’m happy and I’m confident, so this feels like the right place for me.”
At only 18 years old, Lydia still has a whole world of senior football to discover.
Having made two appearances for her parent club, she is raring to embrace the education she will get at City, where the expectation is to win trophies.
The defender knows she must grasp the opportunity for her own development and how it may help shape her future career.
“For me, I want the team to do well, but I obviously want to get what I can out of my time here for my own development and to help with my long-term career," Lydia explained.
“I don’t think I could do it with a better team than this.
“I just really want to play and get senior minutes. It’s a really good league – really competitive and physical, which I like.
“I’ve mostly played in the Academy at Villa, so coming here where there are three trophies to be won is incredible.
“I do like playing under pressure, and I think coming into this environment at this age will only be good for my career because it will put me into situations where we need to go and do a job – and I’m willing to do that.”
Aside from helping the team secure positives results and, hopefully, silverware. Success to Lydia depends on how she has performed. Her own biggest critic, the teenager admits.
“Success for me would look like reflecting on my own performances," she says. "So, have I won my duels? Have I been aggressive? Have I had a high success pass rate, or have I played more forward passes than backwards passes?
“I just think that even if we win a game as a team, I am very critical of my own performance. If we win and I haven’t played well, I don’t see that as a win for myself.
“But, hopefully, this loan will just bring me plenty more opportunities and help me for whatever comes next. The main thing is to just become better at football.”
This is the first time Lydia has ventured into the world of living on her own, having stayed with her parents and a host family prior to moving to Glasgow.
To move to a new country was a big step for the teenager, but one she seems to be thriving with.
From exploring the city to promising herself to make a new recipe every fortnight, it has already been a fulfilling start to solo life in Scotland.
“It’s quite scary, but I am really excited," she says.
“I do like the feeling of having a lot of independence and not having to rely on my host family or my parents. I’ve surprised myself – I've been quite productive with everything I need to do!
“The city is really nice, too, and so is the area I’m living in, so I’m enjoying it so far.”
