BIO I currently play for my academy team Soccer Elite FA as well as for their Under 21 representative side. I consider myself a box to box midfield player and as one of my major strengths is stamina and as I’m good with both feet I’m able to conclude a run by finding a pass or strike going forward or a tackle or block whilst defending. I have played for Kent League standard clubs since Under 13 and currently train daily with Soccer Elite academy coached by ex-professional players including Andy Hessenthaler who is reserve team manager at Gillingham FC. We play in the National cup and regional league and have competitive games at least weekly as well as prestige friendlies against professional clubs. Becoming a student athlete in the US is very appealing to me as it not only offers the opportunity to continue my soccer education but also offers me the chance of a great experience sampling life and learning in a different environment; I would like to study Economics and/or Business Marketing
ACHIEVEMENTS: During my time at Sittingbourne FC, for whom I was captain, we won the U13 Kent FA Cup going on to represent Kent in a national competition, narrowly losing out to eventual winners AFC Wimbledon in the semifinal. I have also represented and captained my district at school football. I spent one summer with Crystal Palace FC and another with Gillingham FC and at each received positive feedback from the coaches related to my ability and attitude towards training and games. During my time at Maid stone United we reached the U16 Kent FA Cup Final and consistently finished in the top 3 of the Kent league Premier Division. During my first year with the Soccer Elite FA Scholarship/Academy we reached the National School semifinal and also played in a number of high profile friendlies against professional clubs including: Leeds United FC, Blackburn Rovers FC, Cardiff City FC, Southampton FC, Swindon Town FC, Portsmouth FC and Wales National u18s.
