Getting to know…
Why Did You Join Wakefield A.F.C?
I spoke with a few existing players about the club, how things are run, the expectations and goals of the clubs future. These things aligned with my personal goals at this level and I thought it was a brilliant opportunity for myself. Another big reason was the fan base. At this level it’s rare to see such a broad fan base week in, week out coming to support the lads home and away.
How Does Wakefield A.F.C Compare With Other Clubs You Have Been At?
The club is really well run down to the things on and off the pitch. The fans are amazing, cheering us on win/loss, home or away. All the staff behind the club are brilliant and do everything they can to support the lads and give us the best support to do well on the pitch.
How Do You Prepare For A Game? Do You Have Pre-game Rituals?
Not really any pre match rituals for me. I just enjoy a bit of music before the match to get me in the mood.
Who Is Your Footballing Idol / Players That Inspired You And Why?
Growing up Steven Gerrard was my footballing idol. I loved the way he left nothing on the pitch and gave 110% in everything he did. He had it all for me. He could run, shoot, pass, defend. He was the complete footballer.
Which Football Team Do You Support And Why?
I’m a huge Liverpool fan and have been my whole life with my dad supporting them & my mum’s side of the family being from Liverpool.
Best Player You’ve Ever Played Against And Why?
Ravel Morrison. Pre-season friendly with Hallam & he was just unbelievable… not one person could get near him.
Greatest Footballing Achievement To Date?
Winning the Clegg Shield.
What Are Your Hobbies Outside Of Football?
I’m quite boring unfortunately, football is my main and pretty much only hobby. I enjoy being at home, comfy in bed watching a film or series.
