I currently coach for Romulus u18 floodlit side, trying to help with their development into adults football as I was fairly successful during my time at Alvechurch u18.

During my time at Halesowen college, completing the F/E course there, i was selected to play for the England college side playing in an international tournament in Italy and different fixtures across England.

During this year, I began my first season in adults football winning the league at just 17. That season we also finished well in the floodlit league going unbeaten in over a year as a team.

I then went on to being given the opportunity to train alongside professional footballers and ex professionals at Hereford FC where I eventually signed for the forthcoming season.

I spent the last 2 months of the season on loan at Studley FC learning my trade at a good level of adults football.

After the season ended, I moved onto Lye Town FC working with coaches I have been with before and currently playing here and enjoying my own football looking to progress throughout the season.
