About
I am the Head Coach at Manuden JFC.
My role within the club is to support the development of our players and coaches across all age groups within the football club. I enjoyed a short spell of playing in grassroots football at the age of 7 & 8, but was scouted by Arsenal academy and was there to the age of 16.
Working under some fantastic coaches - Steve Bould, Paul Davies and Liam Brady to name a few. I then joined Reading FC and continued my development as a youth player for three further season, culminating with a loan move to Basingtoke Town FC. After leaving Reading FC, I soon made my mark in Non-League football with over 250 appearances for several sides.
In the end, my playing days were cut short. The opportunity to go and work within one of the best academy set up in the world at Arsenal FC was too good to turn down!
6 years on, I've been extremely fortunate to work with some of the most talented young players in England... However, I wasn't content, and I felt that I could give so much back to the Grassroots environment!
Over the course of my coaching career thus far, I have gained qualifications up to UEFA B in outfield & goalkeeping, and have also completed the FA Youth Awards.
