Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis says he is "full of confidence" after a strong pre-season with new club Exeter City.
The 33-year-old has scored five times in City's friendlies ahead of their League One opener with Rotherham United on Saturday.
Magennis, who has 79 caps for his country, agreed a one-year deal at St James Park in June after leaving Wigan Athletic.
"It's been fantastic, but the curtains go down on Saturday against Rotherham, so I'd have got none in pre-season and a goal each in the first five games that would have been even better," he told 成人快手 Radio Devon.
"But I'm full of confidence, we know chances will come and I'm fully confident that not only myself, but everyone else we will be able to take theirs when they come."
Magennis has still has big ambitions, both for Northern Ireland and for Exeter, 15 years after he first made his English Football League debut for Cardiff City.
"My goal, for as long as I've been able to be fit and getting over 70 caps, was to get as close to 100 as I possibly could," he said of his international ambitions.
"I think for every striker the minimum number of goals they try to get is double digits.
"I've managed to do that in the past few seasons, which has been good. I'm looking to replicate that this season and the seasons that I'm here at Exeter.
"I've come here to bring a lot more than just goals, but hopefully my goals that I do score are valued and they go on to help us go to places."
