Will drive me of my career
likes of Hemel Hempstead Town and St Albans City to f inally earn his break in Scotland’s top flight.
The frontman admitted: “I’m loving it. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs in my career and this feels like it’s on an upward curve again.
“Hopefully I can keep it there for as long as possible.
“Sometimes it’s just about knowing what you want and wanting it so bad you just don’t stop.
“I had points where I thought: ‘ This is never going to happen’. The longer it takes, the more you think it.
“I’ve thought about doing loads of things – being a brickie, an electrician, you name a job, I’ll have thought:
‘That could be me.’
“But ever since Hamilton got in touch it’s been great.
“The manager has made me a bet ter player already – the way
I think, the way I play the game.
“It’s not so much that I owe him but I do feel like I have to do myself justice

and do him justice for seeing something in me and giving me a chance.”
Moyo will return to the Accies line-up for the first time in a month today against the Hoops, after heroically playing through the pain barrier – some of it selfinflicted – to grab his first goal in the final minutes before the winter break. He winced: “I broke my thumb against Motherwell, and it’s been a tough one to take since nothing else was wrong with me.
“I did it in the first 20 minutes and I have no idea how – I just looked down and my hand was facing the wrong way. I thought it was dislocated so I’ve tried to push it back in! “That didn’t work then, at half-time, t h e physio said I’d need a scan but I played the rest of the game. I was in agony – but adrenaline gets you through and I scored the winning goal with 13 minutes left.
“It was just after I stopped, the pain came and I thought ‘ What the hell’s happening now?’
“I went to the hospital and was there for a few hours and came out with a proper cast on.
“I was fuming. I’d just got myself into the starting XI, and I tried to get it off early to get back sooner but the doctors were all having none of it.”
Moyo’s first start for Accies came in their last clash with Celtic, a day when Brian Rice’s side put the fear into the champs with a late leveller before Scot t Brown’s injury-time winner.
And Moyo said: “It showed they’re human, just like us.
“Anything can happen but you get three points for beating them, same as you get for any other win.
“We just have to believe in ourselves. It’s getting tight at the bottom but the mentality here is great – we’re all behind each other.
“The way I look at it, I’ve been down there playing non-league football.
“Now I’m out there playing against Celtic. It’s a dream for me, I don’t feel it as a pressure.
“It’s hard to put into words how I felt the last time we played them though.
“It was a dream come true, I loved every moment.
“I’ve played in front of a big crowd before, when I made my debut for Zimbabwe in Morocco, but they were all Morocco fans so it was a bit different.
“That was a great experience as well but I was younger when it happened and I didn’t really take it in the way I should have. I’d love the chance to do it again.
“And I still hold out hope I can get more caps.
“All I can do is keep doing what I’m doing and hope they’re keeping tabs on the fact I’m playing at this level.”
