FRENETIC is the best word to describe Tyrese Noslin's time at Barnsley so far.

In truth, the word also applies to his first conversation with head coach Daniel Stendel, which happened over the phone while he was on World Cup duty with Curaçao in North America in June.

Noslin explained: "When I was at the World Cup, I received a phone call from Daniel Stendel and it was a little bit crazy because I had something like seven minutes before dinner or lunch or something.

"We were on a phone call and I said: 'I have seven minutes!'

"Then he laughed at me and said: 'I've seen enough. I want you'. After a few weeks, I decided to come to Barnsley as well."

It's been a hectic time for the Amsterdam native, who heads out on international business following Saturday's home game with Leicester City.

Noslin, who arrived from Dutch Eredivisie outfit Telstar in mid-July on a three-year deal, has been getting up to speed with the intensity of League One, which he feels is more physically demanding than what he was used to in the Netherlands. The itinerary is also more arduous.

The 24-year-old's assimilation has been encouraging, that said, with the player possessing personal motivation as well.

He makes no secret about the fact that his long-term aim is to play in England's top-flight.

Noslin continued: "I want to play in the Premier League and this was always a dream. So I have to start here and do it step by step.

"I have a lot of friends who have played in England. There's Tahith Chong and Leandro Bacuna and Shurandy Sambo plays for Burnley.

"Sontje Hansen has played for Middlesbrough. So I have a lot of friends who played in England, so I can learn from them in terms of how it is."

One thing Noslin knows he must learn to manage are the short turnarounds after international breaks when returning to his club.

Long flights are an occupational hazard for every footballer who represents a nation outside of Europe and for Noslin, his journey to the southern Caribbean and back will certainly be worth it.

He will return to Curaçao next week for the first time since leaving for the World Cup when he and his team-mates received a rapturous send-off.

The Blue Wave became the smallest nation ever to participate in a World Cup, scored its first-ever goal at the tournament and earned its first-ever point with a historic draw against Ecuador.

Curaçao now switch focus to the Concacaf Nations League and face Costa Rica and Nicaragua and have a double-header with Trinidad and Tobago.

Goodwill will definitely not be in short supply among proud Curaçaoans and Noslin is looking forward to heading back to the nation’s capital of Willemstad once he finishes with Barnsley.

He added: "I went back to the Netherlands (after the World Cup) because my baby was a new-born. So I didn't go back to Curacao.

"But after all of those things, I didn't train at my last club and came straight to Barnsley.

"It will be nice to see everybody (in Curaçao) and see how the feeling is now because it feels like a long time ago, but it isn't.

"If I can go back, I will do it every time but that's not possible! It's just a memory now. But it's amazing to see that everybody stands behind us and gives us the energy we need. Apart from that, we need the energy here (at Barnsley) as well."
