About Me

About Me

I’m a former professional footballer with nearly 20 years of experience, having played for clubs such as Newport County, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Yeovil Town, Exeter City, and Torquay United, and I proudly represented Great Britain. I hold a UEFA A Licence, a BSc (Hons) in Sport Studies, and have served as a qualified PE teacher and lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science and Coaching.

My Story

My journey to the professional game was shaped by resilience and dedication. Released from an academy at age 15, I continued playing in non-league football while pursuing my Sports degree and PGCE, combining semi-pro football with education—building my work ethic, perseverance, and intrinsic motivation. This self-belief ultimately fuelled my breakthrough into the professional ranks.

I firmly believe that setbacks—perceived failures included—are vital steps in building a complete athlete. Though I achieved personal and team success later on, none of it would have been possible without the full journey that shaped me.

What I Offer Today

I now use a holistic coaching approach, supporting aspiring footballers across technical, physical, tactical, and psychological development. I’ve worked with players at all levels and collaborated with leading coaches in roles such as Head of Football Academy at Ross County FC and Weston Super Mare, continually refining my methods to help individuals reach their full potential.

Whatever your age, gender, or stage, I’m here to guide and support your football journey.
