Motherwell winger Chris Humphrey has revealed he qualifies to play for Scotland or the country of his birth, Jamaica.
However, the 22-year-old could end up playing for Scotland as his mother was born in Kilmarnock.
He told skysports.com: "Of course everyone's childhood dream is to play for their country.
"At the moment I am just trying to improve as a person and player and I believe I am in the right place for that to happen.
"I have been asked whether I would like to play for Jamaica and of course who wouldn't like to play international football.
"What people might not know is that my mum was actually born in Kilmarnock, so if I can keep improving it would be nice to think one day I might have a decision to make.
"That is a long way off at the moment. I just need to get my head down, listen to what I am being told and work as hard as I can for the team."
Humphrey has caught the eye following his return to the Motherwell side after being given compassionate leave by Jim Gannon for personal reasons.
"It is amazing to think I was at Accrington away this time last year and I have just played at Parkhead in front of 58,000 people," continued the former Shrewsbury player.
"It was a wonderful experience and it is the sort of place I want to play at more often.
"I was disappointed we did not win, but a point and clean sheet wasn't a bad result so we now have to build on that."
Humphrey has thanked Gannon, his team-mates and the Motherwell fans for helping him through the difficult personal times he has suffered recently with his partner losing their unborn baby.
"It has been a very difficult few months as people know and again I must thank the manager, team and fans for their support," added Humphrey.
"Coming here is the best thing I could have done and I will give my all to repay the faith shown in me."
