Summary
I believe I'm a competent and well rounded technician when it comes to an array of different types of events and performances. All my life I've also been a hard worker and a real team player. I've played for various rugby league teams all my life. Even though that may not seem strictly relevant, its taught me how to adapt to difficult situations when under pressure, work hard on my own performance and work very well as part of a team.

Rugby league player, rugby league coach and guitarist.
I've played rugby league since a young age, and since have been coached by ex-players and professional coaches. I've also coached an under-16's rugby league team, at which I've had to complete a safeguarding course with the RFL in order to work with children. I also aim to continue this with the University of Salford rugby league team in the next couple years in my free time. I also played guitar since the start of high school, of which I got to grade 6 by the time I left, which took alot of practice and determination, and is something I'm quite proud of.
