The
30-year-old had returned to Southern Division One South side Moneyfields in
March 2020, just before lockdown.
He
had originally re-joined Moneyfiels in December 2016 from Gosport for an
undisclosed fee.
He
joined Boro whilst they were in the Southern League Division One South &
West and went onto to firmly write himself in Boro’s history books. He was an
integral part of the promotion-winning squad of 2011/12 which saw the-then
Gosport squad gain promotion to the Southern Premier via the play-offs.
But
it was the following season where his exploits truly made all the difference.
He
scored well over 30 goals as they terrorised countless defences in the Premier
Division.
His
goal in the play-off semi-final at Stourbridge that set Gosport on course for
the final at Hemel Hempstead Town - Boro were promoted via a penalty shoot-out
after the game had ended 2-2 after extra-time.
The
following season in the Conference South saw him feature prominently once
again.
The
fairytale run to Wembley in the FA Trophy final was entwined with another good
season for him and the popular man played a part under the arch as a second
half substitute in Gosport’s 4-0 defeat against Cambridge United.
The
following two seasons saw him score some spectacular goals, including a
memorable effort against Havant & Waterlooville in the 2015 Boxing Day
derby which propelled him to national fame, as TV stations and numerous
newspapers and magazines publicised the wonder strike.
He
spent a couple of decent seasons back at Moneyfields before departing in the
summer of 2019 for Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier side AFC
Portchester.
