Anthony McDonald says it was an easy decision to return to Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
The 19-year-old previously signed for Inverness on loan for the second half of the 2018/19 campaign, and has returned to the Highland capital on a deal until the end of the season.
He most recently spent time at Cordoba in Spain, but when that did not work out he jumped at the opportunity to return to the Caledonian Stadium.
“My agent asked me what I thought about Inverness, and my first thought was ‘yeah, definitely’,” he said.
“I wanted to come back, so it was an easy decision for me because I know the place, I know the club, the boys and the manager.
“It’s always a little bit nervy going into a new club where you don’t know anyone, and you don’t know the style of play.
“For myself, being back here and knowing most of the boys, and knowing the way the club plays and their ambitions, it’s good for me.
“Hopefully we can push for what we deserve this season.”
McDonald will undoubtedly be hoping to return to the Premiership with Caley Thistle.
He made his senior breakthrough at Hearts in December 2017, making 17 appearances in the top flight for the Jambos.
The teenager came close to winning promotion from the Championship with Inverness in his previous spell, coming up short in the play-off semi final to Dundee United.
A play-off spot may be the best that the Caley Jags can hope for this season, sitting 22 points behind Hearts already.
McDonald, though, is confident that with their games in hand ICT are still capable of earning promotion this season.
“It’s an ambition for the club, that’s what we all want,” McDonald insisted.
“I think we’ve definitely got the players and the talent to do it.
“It’s just about picking up results week after week and seeing where we go.”
