I have significant knowledge, training and experience working with children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
My Qualifications
My coaching is backed by both practical experience and formal education: BSc (Hons) in Sports Science.

My Playing History
I bring an insider's perspective from my own playing career: I played at Academy level for clubs including Sheffield United FC and Barnsley FC. I also gained valuable senior experience at the semi-pro level with Alfreton Town FC.
Football is in my DNA, and my passion is to pass this on by helping players of all ages and abilities achieve tangible improvements in their game and grow in confidence both as players and as people.
