STRENGTHS
My main strengths are my shot-stopping and distribution. I’m confident in one-v-ones and comfortable playing out from the back. I also bring leadership and strong communication, which helps organise defenders and reduce pressure on the back line.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
I’m always looking to improve, but I’m particularly focused on my decision-making and consistency, especially when dealing with crosses. I’m also working on my footwork and speed across the goal so I can be more effective in second-ball phases.

Tell us about your best memory of your athletic career:
After joining Vale of Leithen, we travelled to Glasgow to play Benburb in the qualifying round of the Scottish Cup. Despite being underdogs, we produced a fantastic performance and won 3-0, which was considered the upset of the round. It was an unforgettable experience and a real highlight early in my time with the club.
