A member of the famed Southampton academy, he was released in 2012 and joined Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier side Christchurch after a brief period with Poole Town`s under-18s.

He attracted attention as a 16-year-old with his performances for Christchurch, with Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth both linked with him.

He eventually moved to then-Wessex League rivals Blackfield & Langley and was named as young player of the year in 2015.

But he then decided to go to the United States and has been with Longwood University in Virginia.
