Men’s U17 & U19 Talent Pathway

  • Co-Lead Coach (South)

    About

    I played in England’s first-ever international futsal fixture at the KL World Cup and I’ve loved the game ever since. From being part of the U19s selection process ahead of the UEFA qualifiers in Croatia, to watching players grow over 18 months and perform on the national stage, it’s been a journey of pride and purpose.

    After Covid, I travelled across the South delivering CPD events and coaching qualifications (Futsal Levels 1, 2, and now the National Futsal Course), always driven by a passion to share the game and help it grow.

    As Head of Football at an independent school and former Director of Sport, I’ve helped embed futsal into the school system—supporting staff, building CPD pathways, and creating school-focused resources. The base of players is expanding, and there’s never been a better time for futsal in England.

    I’m excited to get started with this talented group as we build towards the UEFA competitions. We’ve got creative, experienced coaches and ambitious young players in a brilliant environment for development. The futsal bus is moving, get on it or be left behind!”.

    Best Quality Working with Young Players

    My strength is working with individuals to bring the best out of them within the team. I’m focused on recognising players’ strengths, identifying their needs and supporting them on their personal journey. Growth isn’t always linear, I understand what it takes to guide progress with patience, structure, and belief.
