  • Coach comment:
    A very versatile player who shows really good composure on the ball and will always look to scan before receiving the ball and making quick decisions with his passing. Understands his role in a team very well as he covers spaces really well and can provide a good shield in the Centre Midfield position to stop the ball getting into the opponent’s attackers feet. Has the ability to play in wide areas as a more defensive player or higher up in wider areas. A top academic student from a really highly regarded Grammar school.
