Five clubs in four years is not usually a good thing but Chelsea’s Scott Sinclair is determined to use the experience gained on the road to force himself into first-team contention on his return at the end of the season.

 

20-year old Sinclair joined the Blues from Bristol Rovers in 2005 and has had loan stints at Plymouth, QPR, Charlton, Crystal Palace, and is currently at St Andrews but will return to the fold at Stamford Bridge ready to give whoever is in charge next season a selection headache.

“It’s always going to be hard with the likes of Deco, Lampard, Joe Cole... who are all superstars in the team,” he said,” But we can learn from the best players and if you don’t break in there then I’m sure (you will) elsewhere. My main priority is to do well at Birmingham, get promotion and hopefully go back and get into the Chelsea team.”

Originally joining Alex McLeish’s side in January for a month, the positive impression made on the Scot led him to successfully extend Sinclair’s loan until the end of the season.
