Experience

Been playing football since I can remember, starting my grassroots at local club Salisbury FC and Wiltshire Regional Talent Centre.

As a teenager I stayed at AFC Bournemouth before moving to Southampton Elite Training Centre (ETC), competing against the top academies such as: Portsmouth FC, Southampton FC, Fulham FC, Tottenham and Yeovil FC. I also played for Wiltshire County U16s and U18s.

At 16, I joined AFC Bournemouth (Sparsholt) and also moved into the Wessex Premier League with 1st team side Alresford Town FC, as well as playing for Hampshire County U19s during 2019/20.

Whilst at AFC Bournemouth (Sparsholt) I played in the FA Youth Cup making it to the 3rd round proper against Ipswich Town. The following year, I became the captain beating Yeovil Town in the 1st round proper 3-1, before getting beat by Bath City in the following round.

In 2019 I joined Woking FC in the National League with their U23s Academy and after two months, I was invited to training with the first team where I played my first game.

In the 2020/21 season I joined Salisbury FC in hope to push onto first team. I started with the reserve side where I later on started to train with the first team after a few months. I then made my first appearance with the team before Christmas.
