Birmingham City goalkeeper Jack Butland brands his rise to fame "meteoric".

Birmingham City goalkeeper Jack Butland has called his recent success a 'meteoric rise' ahead of Team GB's Olympic quarter-final clash with South Korea.

The 19-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Cheltenham Town, has starred for Team GB this summer after travelling with the England squad for Euro 2012.

"It has been meteoric. It has been a fast rollercoaster ride. I knew at the start of the season that I needed to go out and get games, and I had two spells at Cheltenham," Butland told The Times.

"I really worked hard and really enjoyed my football, but the challenges keep coming. Hopefully [Team GB] can go a long way in this tournament and I can push on again. My aim for next season is to play as many games as I can again, get more experience under my belt and see where I go from there.

"I learnt at the Euros that that is the level I want to be at. That is where I want to be. The standard of the strikers there was top class. That is where I want to be for a long period of my career."

Butland has yet to make his first-team debut for Birmingham.
