Botan Ameen said that he can't get ahead of himself after a dazzling performance off the bench in Swindon Town's 2-2 draw against Doncaster Rovers.
The 17-year-old came on at the break after Rob Street's strike 19 seconds into the match and Joe Sbarra's second had Town in a hole.
As part of a triple change that paid off handsomely, Ameen played a big part in Danny Butterworth's goal before setting up Joe Westley to grab the equaliser.
After the game, Ameen said that it was a game he hugely enjoyed but knew he couldn't rest on his laurels and had to keep pushing.
He said: "That was very fun, I enjoyed it a lot as I didn't know that I would come on like that, but you should never doubt yourself and I was pleased to get the assist for the second goal.
"It feels amazing to do this, you never think at my age, that you'll be playing senior football.
"I got to experience some big stadiums in the Youth Cup last year but the support today was amazing and celebrating in front of the fans was a great feeling.
"I am very happy to be where I am, but I can't be satisfied, I have to keep pushing for more and more and hopefully the time will come to do more of that soon.
"I don't want to get ahead of myself, I need to stay humble because the group that we have got is very experienced and staying level-headed is the most important thing to keep pushing.
"But also, I know my ability and I know that I can challenge for starting 11 spots now."
Ameen also revealed that at half time Ian Holloway's instructions were very clear for the other players to get him the ball.
He said: "He [Holloway] just wants to see creativity and flair in the front four, even in the front five today, and he just wants players to express themselves and be hungry to cause chaos for the opposition.
"At half time, he made it very clear that I should be getting the ball a lot because of what he has seen from me in training.
"He has full trust in my ability and didn't want to put me on and not use that.
"So, he directed all of the boys, when they saw me in space, to play it wide as soon as they could."
