Ottawa Fury's Keishen Bean insists he must develop a ruthless steak in front of goal if he is to continue his promising start to life in the PDL.

Bean, 22, has scored three goals this season from an uncustomary left-wing position, but is adamant that there's far more to come him this season as Fury look to maintain their defeated streak.

The thing I need to work on is my hunger," said the former Bermuda Hogges striker. "My coach always says that he can count on me when we are down or in a draw however I need to be more ruthless and score even when we are four and five nothing up.

"He's right, there have been about four times this season when we are tied at one or down by one and I always seam to find the net when needed. However, I need that same hunger even when we are dominating a game.

"I've learned much from the PDL. It's shown me how to be more attack-minded. My coach has taught me the right runs to make on and off the ball to put me in goal scoring positions. I've come a long way in the past two months of playing at a professional level and I hope to continue to grow."

Sitting second in the Northeast Division and with two games in-hand on their rivals, Fury look like a decent bet to reach the final four this term and Bean is delighted he decided to move to the Canadian outfit.

"I started the season a little slow but after about three games I got used to the pace and started to perform at a high level that made my coach proud," said Bean, who was sounded out about a move to fellow PDL side Reading Rage before signing for Fury.

"I've been played as either an attacking midfielder or on the left wing where I have been used as a creative attacking player. I've had the license to roam and dribble which has made me very happy with the team I chose to play for. We are in second place, four points behind first place, however, we have two games in hand which puts us in the driving seat."

Flying winger Tyrell Burgess believes he's on the verge of becoming a regular starter for Vancouver Whitecaps and has vowed to his seize his opportunity.

The 22-year-old Bermuda international has been used exclusively as a second-half substitute since signing a two-year deal with the USL-D1defending champions.

But having received positive feedback from his coach Teitur Thordarson he reckons it won't be long before he forces his way into the starting line-up, and is pleased with the way he has acquited himself since joining the professional ranks.

"Everything is going great and my feelings so far this season are good," said Burgess, who braved the sizzling East African heat as part of a two-week soccer safari in Tanzania, with Whitecaps.

"I haven't been on the pitch much but I have been working hard and my chance looks like it may come soon.

"I want to be fully prepared to take advantage of it. I have been happy with the overall professonalism of the players and staff at the whitecaps. Everyone involved wants success which is great to be apart of because you develop the same mentality."

The former Reading Rage man could soon find himself playing Major League Soccer Major after Whitecaps were awarded an expansion franchise for 2011. Burgess, who has made five substitute appearances for ninth placed Whitecaps so far this season, said the biggest lesson he has learned so far has been in the transition from amateur to professional.

"I have my points to improve upon and I am steadily getting there," he said. "The coach likes many of my qualities but he also recognises other things that I need to do before I am ready for the pitch. I have been working very hard to so that i can be ready.

"The greatest thing i have learned at this level is that you have to carry yourself as a professional, you have to make good decisions all the time."
