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.

I`ve trained and played with world class players such as Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Jude Bellingham and Garnacho. I’ve made my professional debut against Southend in a 2-0 win in the 2024/25 season . Under my time at Derby I completed my coaching badges and developed a love for coaching. I have coached in schools and also helped a local college program called Ascess Sport with the coaching aswell, where I worked for 2 years in my role.
