STRENGTHS
I am a brave goalkeeper who is confident with his feet. I am very comfortable playing out and I dominate my area well. I am a very capable shot stopper.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
Sweeping may need some improvement as I prefer to back myself to make the save instead of rushing out and having the risk of being taken out of the game.

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
In pre-season for Havant and Waterloovile, I played against EFL league 2 professional side Sutton United and played well which was amazing experience playing against full time professionals in the EFL system.
I also was included with the squad against EFL Championship side Portsmouth FC which meant a lot to me as it’s my home town team I got to experience the warm up in front of 4500 people. It was an amazing experience as the fans were so loud.
Goals:
To play the highest level possible for the longest time possible. My ultimate aim is to become a full time (professional) athlete.
Anything else we should know?
I have been selected for pro direct academy 11 which is where the top players from around the country get selected to represent a team for the organisation our college works with. They play against category 1 academy teams, for example I played against Norwich FC at their training ground.
My team was invited to a PGMOL tournament with Professional women’s league officials and we had fully operational VAR in the tournament and we came second against academy’s around the country.
From 15-18 I was training with havant and Waterloovile’s first team and learned valuable experiences about the men’s game and was selected for pre season at 16 and played against high level teams playing very well.
