Alfie Mawson is finding his feet in the Premier League after climbing five rungs of the football ladder to reach the top flight.
And having broken into the elite following his move to Swansea City, the centre-back intends to stick around.
Mawson's rise into Bob Bradley's first team means he has played in English football's top six divisions.
And while he is refusing to take anything for granted, the 22-year-old is now eyeing a long spell in a Swans shirt.
"Nothing is certain in football - and that's still the case for me now," Mawson tells this weekend's Jack Magazine.
"I was delighted to make my first appearance in the Premier League. It means I have played in every league from Conference South upwards - it's a good story to tell.
"I will remember the day I made my debut against Watford for the rest of my career.
"Now it's about making sure I can kick on. My ambition now is to play at this level for the rest of my career, and I would love that to be here at Swansea."
* You can read Alfie's unusual story in Sunday's Jack Magazine.
He talks about everything from the Conference South to signing for the Swans - and reveals the job he almost left football for a mere three years ago.
As usual, Jack Magazine will be packed with entertaining and insightful content, with player interviews, historical features and glimpses of what goes on behind the scenes at Swansea City.
