“I knew I had so much potential but I was never fortunate enough to have that person who could realise that potential to its fullest.”

My passion for football comes from many places, but none encapsulates it better than that I come from a big footballing family. The sport is in our blood! Football was always on the tele day in, day out and if I wasn’t watching it I was playing in the garden or local parks.

I pursued this passion as I grew up, progressing in my football career through studying football coaching and achieved my NVQ Level 1 and 2, springboarding me into full time coaching. My training combined with years of experience playing with academies such as Aston villa, West Brom, Coventry and Kidderminster Harriers has given me a wealth of knowledge to share with rising stars.

Ever since I was a young boy I knew I had so much potential but I was never fortunate enough to have that person who could realise that potential to its fullest. It’s because of this that I want to make a difference in the next generations lives by helping to steer them away from the negative paths and to believe that with hard work and perseverance anything is achievable.
