PRINCIPLES OF OUR FOOTBALL ACADEMY
MEET OUR STAFF

Throughout my football career, I have had the privilege of playing for several notable clubs, including Everton, Southampton, and Charlton. Additionally, I gained valuable experience during loan spells in the Scottish Premier League and at Port Vale in League 1. My dedication to the sport was further recognized when I was selected to represent England at the U20 international level, showcasing my skills on a larger stage and contributing to my development as a player.
