About

I have been playing football professionally for about 20 years now, gaining lots of experience at various levels. I was club captain at Woking FC for 6 seasons and very much enjoyed the different responsibilites and challenges that came with the role. I was then at Borehamwood Football club for 7 seasons as captain, enjoying some special experiences and making history with the club. This season I have been playing for Dulwich Hamlet football club whilst also completing a graduate role at Littlepay. I was previously running my own personal training business alongside my football commitments which I really enjoyed. This gave me a great insight into the challenges of building a business and managing my time. Having just completed my degree at the The Open University in Computing and IT with Business, I’m now looking to the next chapter in my career.
