Profile

I am a 20-year-old football player, with 11 years of playing experience at academy level. I am most comfortable in right back or centre midfield.

I am a very vocal player and like to communicate with my teammates. I like to be positive when attacking from midfield and right back and create chances for my teammates with forward thinking runs. I have an extremely professional attitude towards training and looking after my body in terms of nutrition, in order to keep my body in the condition it needs to be during the season and during the off season. I am very confident player on the pitch and am happy to take on responsibility during games.

Academy Player – Clyde FC (2011-2014)

Throughout my time with Clyde Football Club I played as a central midfielder and as a number 10. It was at Clyde where I signed my first professional contract at the age of 18 when I broke into the first team after impressing during preseason. I learnt a lot during my time with the first team and it helped me develop as a player. I had a very successful spell at Clyde and played a key role in a number of games, however my biggest achievement was getting an assist against Rangers FC, in the Petrofac Cup at ibrox in front of 12,000 supporters.
