LONDON, England

NATIONAL midfielder Wolry Wolfe will be looking to conquer a long-time dream by winning a contract at leading second division Hungary club, Ferencvárosi TC.

"It's one of the greatest things that could've happened to me," the 27-year-old player told Star Sports on Wednesday night in England. "I've always wanted to play in Europe. It's a great opportunity."

The team was relegated from the top flight last year as it faced financial difficulties, but now leads the race for promotion with the lead position in the Hungarian National Championship.

The Reggae Boy flew directly from England yesterday to join the club on trial.

"I've been waiting, I guess nothing happens before the time," noted Wolfe, who has been playing professionally outside Jamaica with Trinidad and Tobago team Joe Public over the past four years. He says his five-year-old son, Kadiff, is providing a special level of inspiration.

"One of my biggest motivations has been since my son has been born," he said. "He is the reason that I've looked on things more seriously. Since my son's been born I've been a different person."

A former Jonathan Grant High School representative, Wolfe has been a member of the Jamaica senior football squad for seven years and admits that "I'd like to use it (trial) as a stepping stone to go further.

"I've been working hard over the years but the older you get the more experienced you become. It's more experience and maturity," stated Wolfe of his consistently high level of performance in Jamaica colours in recent times, including CONCACAF World Cup qualifying last year.

"I'm getting used to the big occasions, the big games. I'm motivated to play the big games against the top players, the top teams."

He has won titles at Joe Public and with national club champions, Portmore United, to which he is attached. Two of his former Portmore teammates, Jason Morrison, a midfielder who is also in the national team, and his brother Rafe, are already on the Hungarian teams' books, and Wolfe says that will help him through the transition.
