A big, physical central defender with lots of pace, who was part of the influx of fresh faces to Belle View in the summer of 2022 as we prepared to step up to the Northern Premier League.
A tall, strong, quick player who is good in the air and on the ground, he started his career at the highly-rated Park View youth set-up, representing Durham County, making his Northern League bow with Chester-le-Street United, and having trials with Sunderland AFC.
He started 2021-22 at Blyth Spartans, and then featured for Whickham before switching to North Shields, where he was part of the squad which pipped Consett to the Northern League title in 2021-22.
A natural leader, and a good communicator, he made the transition from youth to senior football seamlessly, and was a regular starter in his first season in the NPL, which concluded with him being named Manager’s Player of the Season. Vice-captain for the 2023-24 season.
