Australian international Josh Nisbet is optimistic that his recent goal for Ross County could be the catalyst for a scoring spree in the Scottish Premiership. The 25-year-old midfielder, who made the transition from Central Coast Mariners to the Highlands this summer, is gradually finding his rhythm in a new environment.
Since signing a three-year contract with Ross County, Nisbet has been eager to make his mark.
He has already made three appearances for the Socceroos and is keen to translate that international experience into club success. In a recent match against Motherwell, Nisbet showcased his potential by scoring the second goal in a 2-1 victory, a performance that he hopes will lead to more goals and assists in the future.
Nisbet’s goal came shortly after halftime, where he expertly found the top left corner of the net after creating space at the edge of the penalty box.
Reflecting on the moment, he stated, “It felt good, but I don’t think I hit it as sweetly as I would have liked.” Despite his modesty, the goal was crucial in securing three points for Ross County, lifting them to eighth place in the league standings.
In the lead-up to the match, Nisbet expressed his desire to enhance his performance, and his goal was a testament to that commitment. He emphasized the importance of contributing to the team’s success, saying, “We talked in the week about getting more goals and assists, so it’s good to start now and I want to build on that.” His teammates celebrated the goal enthusiastically, highlighting the camaraderie within the squad.
Despite the joy of scoring, Nisbet faced challenges adapting to the colder Scottish climate, a stark contrast to the warm temperatures he is accustomed to in Australia. He humorously noted the difficulties of staying warm during lengthy VAR checks, saying, “I thought I was getting used to the conditions… but it was cold alright, freezing.”
With upcoming matches against reigning champions Celtic and third-placed Rangers, Nisbet is eager to prove himself against top-tier competition. He remarked, “These are the sort of challenges you want, against the best, and to prove that you can compete and progress in your career.” His determination to excel in these fixtures reflects his ambition to solidify his place in the team and contribute significantly to Ross County’s campaign.
As Nisbet continues to adapt and grow in his new role, fans will be watching closely to see if he can indeed open the floodgates to a series of impressive performances.
