BIO I currently play for Handsworth Boys FC u18’s, u19’s and u21’s and working my way into the first team who play in north-east counties football league. I have also represented my city for a year playing in there last year for Sheffield boys when I was 16. I am a versatile left footed defender with my football strengths being an all-round defender such as heading, tackling, aggression, communication and excellent ability to read the game. Another reason why I want to play soccer in the USA is because of the high standard of play which will bring in bigger crowds and the great facilities they have to offer for their student athletes which is very appealing to me. They will also be numerous opportunities for me to excel in a sporting career such as coaching, teaching or another profession in sport. I would love to travel the world and play football in the USA whilst also gaining education at degree level. My ideal subject would be a sport related degree such as physical education, sports coaching or sports and exercise science.
