Football has been my passion for as long as I can remember. My journey started as a youth player at Arsenal FC, where I was part of the squad that won the FA Youth Cup. I then joined Tottenham Hotspur as a young professional, but after facing setbacks due to injury, I transitioned into coaching at just 21 years old.

Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to developing players and maximizing their potential. I hold undergraduate degrees in Sport Science, Coaching & Teaching, as well as Master’s degrees in Strength & Conditioning and Football Business, equipping me with a deep understanding of both the physical and strategic demands of the game.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across men’s first teams, academies, and women’s football, contributing to the progression of numerous players into first-team environments. One of my proudest achievements was playing a role in Tottenham Hotspur’s promotion to the Women’s Super League (WSL) and being part of the coaching staff during the club’s 2024 FA Cup final run.

Now, I’m excited to bring my experience and expertise to Gotham FC, working alongside a skilled staff to further develop the talent at the club and contribute to Gotham’s success in the NWSL.
