Biography:

From a young age, my Grandad got me into football for my local team - Woodhouse Colts. I was originally an outfield player and went in goal due to an injury to our keeper at the time. The position came naturally to me and it’s where I’ve played ever since. I’ve played for several teams around the midlands area and won several trophies over the years as well as personal achievements.

I got into deaf football through the captain (Jamie Clarke). I played against him at a competitive hearing level. got introduced to the England Deaf Team, and the rest is history.

I am very competitive and ambitious. I will always try new things, push my body to the limit and never give up. I have competed in bodybuilding competitions on stage. I do CrossFit as well which pushes me to my absolute limits. I like to stay active all the time, can’t sit still at all! I believe in the squad we have, and I believe we can get Gold for GB!
