The 27-year-old, who can also play as a wide midfielder had re-signed for Pitching In Southern League Premier Division club Stratford Town in July 2020 from league rivals Banbury United, where he had been since January 2020.

 

But he then signed for Macclesfield Town last month before their sad demise.

 

He joined the now sadly defunct Rushden & Diamonds after a successful trial in 2009 after he had been spotted playing for Newport Pagnell Town.

 

He started a two-year scholarship and was a regular in the youth team, scoring 16 goals in his first year. In his second year, he featured twice for the first team in the Northants Senior Cup against Daventry United and Brackley Town.

 

He also joined former club Newport Pagnell and then Northampton Spencer on `work experience`.

 

In the summer of 2011, he was released and re-joined Newport Pagnell and made his debut in August 2011 in a 3–0 defeat to Boston Town but in January 2012, he joined then-League Two side Northampton Town on a contract until the end of the season after impressing on a one-week trial.

 

He made his debut for the Cobblers in April 2012 in a 3–1 defeat to Crawley Town, coming on as a sub for Jake Robinson.

 

In April, he signed a one-year professional contract and the following November 2012, he joined Kettering on loan in January 2013.

 

He then played for Kettering on a permanent basis, St Neots Town, Oxford City, Arlesey Town, AFC Rushden & Diamonds and had a second spell at St Neots before joining Cambridge City for season 2017/18, scoring 13 goals from 45 appearances for the Lilywhites.

 

He joined Stratford for the first time in the summer of 2018, making 82 appearances for the Warwickshire side, scoring 10 goals.
