About

I began my career in England’s youth systems with Fulham F.C. and Crystal Palace F.C. Later on, I moved to New Zealand, where I’ve been fortunate to build my career and become known for scoring goals, especially during my time with Hamilton Wanderers AFC. While there, I became the club’s all-time leading scorer and was lucky enough to win the Northern League Golden Boot twice.​​​​​​​
