Biggest influence on football career
110% my old man he’s drove me here there and everywhere throughout my life and never moaned
Most Memorable Game
I have loads in my mind but the one that seems to be popping up is Selby Town v Kendal in the FA Cup replay.
Lowest moment in football
My lowest moment in football probably has to be when I was firing on all cylinders at Frickley and I then had to have 2 groin operations putting me out for the rest of the (2018//19) season.
Biggest regret in football
Turning down the opportunity to go to America
First semi-professional manager
My first Non League manager was Karl Rose at Frickley. He was some man and if I’m honest a great manager and a nice guy if you did as he asked and if not you knew about it.
Non League Debut
Tough to remember really as it seems so long ago. It was at Frickley and I was 16 and came on for the last 15 minutes. We were 1-0 up and I played out of position in central midfield and was just told to run and cause havoc.
First Red Card in Non League
My first red was for Selby in FA Cup against Whickham. I kicked the ball at one of their lads who dived while he was on the floor at his head – was only like 10 minutes in.
First Non League Goal
First goal was for Selby against Glasshoughton, came on as a sub and scored within five minutes.
What do you want to achieve in football in the future?
I want to play at the highest level I can and enjoy playing!
Favourite Non League Ground
Westfield Lane (Frickley) great fans and a great committee.
