From the moment I learned to walk, my parents tell me I always had a football at my feet. I’ve been shown videos of myself at 1 years old, kicking a ball around my home in the UK.

We moved to Australia when I was still under 2 years old, and we’ve always spent lots of time outdoors as a family. Everywhere we went, there would always be a football and we (my brothers and my dad) would spend hours kicking a ball and practicing different skills.

I’ve always loved watching skilful players who dribble with the ball a lot. Cristiano Ronaldo has always been my favourite player but since the 2020 Euro’s and signing for Man Utd, I really enjoy watching Jadon Sancho. Others I like are Neymar Jr, Ronaldinho and I also really enjoyed watching and learning about Pele. One of my favourite Christmas presents 2 years ago was a Brazilian football kit with “#10 Pele” on the back.

The core moves I’ve learned from SDB really help in a 1v1 situation and playing regular Futsal, teaches you to think and react quickly.

Since playing Futsal with SDB, I was awarded a Football Scholarship at the age of 8 and recently at the age of 11, selected for Perth Glory U13’s National Premier League.

SDB and Coach Gui Carniel have played a massive part in my football development. All the coaches have been great but as Gui has always been my main coach, he is the one I’ve learned the most from. Being selected to captain some of my Futsal teams has also taught me valuable leadership skills. Again, special thanks to coach Gui for trusting me with this responsibility.

I’m very proud at what I have achieved already in Football and my short-term goals are to keep developing as best as I can.

Long-term goals are to hopefully play professionally in Europe and one day, hopefully be selected to represent my Country. I was born in the UK and now a Citizen of Australia so, representing either is my dream.
