Melbourne Victory signing Connor Pain says Andrew Nabbout's debut was his inspiration Melbourne Victory's Connor Pain at training. MELBOURNE Victorys newest signing Connor Pain admits Andrew Nabbouts Round 2 debut gave him hope of breaking into the A-League. The winger admits professional football was a world away when he was playing for Malvern in the Victorian state league second division. Yesterday it became reality when he signed a two-year deal with Victory, just a month after making his A-League debut in the derby win over Melbourne Heart. The 19-year-old is a chance to start once again this week, though his status for Saturday's game depends on the availability of Marcos Flores. After missing today's session, the Argentine will train with the main group tomorrow and should be get through he'll be picked for Saturday's clash at Brisbane. "We all saw Andrew Nabbout take the first step up and it did unite the boys a bit and we thought we can actually do it from here and it gave us a bit of belief,"Pain said. I've been striving for it for a long time and I'm over the moon. My first senior football was with Malvern in division one then played in division two then John Anastasiadis gave me the call up to join Bentleigh Greens and from there (Victory youth coach) Darren (Davies) saw me and picked me up for the youth team. There was that element. You've always got to believe but there was times, even just trying to step up to division two level was a struggle as a teenager so I didn't have any expectations. Pain was impressive last week as Victory trounced Newcastle 5-0 to break a three-game losing streak. "Nothing's changed this week, we're hoping we can keep this form up into the finals," he said.
