During my time at Walesby I missed a season as I got selected to play for the local district team. My time at Walesby finished when I was around 15 years old due to the team having to fold which led to me joining the other local team close to my village - Robin Hood.

Best footballing achievement: Playing live on BBC in the FA Cup. Favourite Music: Rap/ R&B. Favourite Food: Chinese Cuisine. Biggest influence in career: My first manager Stef Hall and my dad.
