And having spoken to Scotland boss Andy Robinson he is optimistic that good performances in the RaboDirect PRO12 will see him break into Scotland's RBS 6 Nations squad.
He said: "I spoke to [Andy Robinson] a short while after getting back from the World Cup and let him know my situation at Toulon. He told me I need to be playing rugby.
"It planted the seed that if I couldn't play at Toulon I had to see about getting loaned out or finding another club.
"I want to play in the Six Nations and I knew if I stayed at Toulon that was a definite no. I would not even be giving myself a chance."
Lamont has already had one spell with the Warriors prior to moving to Sale in 2008 but he insists he is a much better player than his last time in Scotland's largest city.
He added: "I'd like to think I've improved. I've put myself into some testing environments and I feel like I've grown up a lot. I do feel like I'm a much better player and I understand the game a lot better."
