The 24-year-old joined the Coasters in January 2020 from League Two side Salford City for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

 

He was born, and still lives, in Salford, just around the corner from the club’s Peninsula Stadium.

 

He started his career with Bolton Wanderers` academy, progressed through the ranks and, under the management of former Celtic manager Neil Lennon, was handed his first-team chance in the 2014/15 season.

 

He went on to make 11 appearances before the end of that season, and scored one goal, signing his first professional contract in May 2015.

 

He made several more appearances the following season but could not prevent Bolton from being relegated to League One at the end of the season.

 

He spent the 2016/17 season out on loan to Bury and made 15 appearances in all competitions for the Shakers but was released by then-manager Phil Parkinson upon his return to Bolton.

 

Several trials at Stockport County led to him being offered a short-term deal, after which FC United of Manchester gave him a chance to re-ignite his career.

 

He joined the Ammies in January 2018.

 

Capped twice by England C, he totalled 60 appearances for Salford, netting 11 goals, and has spent 15 games, scoring 5 goals, for Fylde`s league rivals Stockport last season.
