Biography

A striker, he was a schoolboy at Luton Town before beginning his professional career at Birmingham City, but dropped into non-League after only playing for 10 minutes as a substitute in a Football League Cup match. He played for several clubs in the Eastern Counties League, including Harwich & Parkeston, where he played under former Arsenal player, Richie Powling,[1] then later Chelmsford City, before returning to the professional game with Bristol City in 1993. After a loan spell at Colchester United and less than a year with Northampton Town, he returned to non-League with Sudbury Town, reuniting with Powling.

He was later signed by Powling for Cambridge City and Braintree Town,[2] and after a spell at Maldon Town, went on to become a player-coach at Whitton United.[3] After a spell as coach and assistant manager at Ipswich Wanderers,[4] he was appointed manager of Whitton United in 2009.[5] He left the club in 2011, becoming a coach at Hadleigh United, before joining A.F.C. Sudbury as first team coach in November 2012.[6] He later became assistant manager, before leaving the club in 2014.[7] In 2015, he was appointed manager of Hadleigh United, a position he held until resigning in May 2016.[8] The following year he was appointed joint manager of the Suffolk FA's under-18 team.[9] He also works as a tutor at One College.
