Football and Coaching
More than a decade around the game.
Coaching, developing people and helping create opportunities to play across grassroots and community football.
What I’m involved in
Moorside Rangers U16
Developing Players
Creating an environment where young players can learn, make decisions and become more confident.
I design and deliver sessions that challenge players to think, make decisions and develop both on and off the pitch. My role is less about giving players answers and more about creating the conditions for them to learn.
FA Grassroots Coach Developer
Developing Coaches
Helping grassroots coaches understand their practice and develop an approach that works for their players.
I support coaches through observation, conversation and practical learning, exploring why practices work, how environments affect learning and how sessions can be adapted around the players in front of them.
Manchester FA Independent Chair Disability Working Group
Developing the game
Working with partners to create more inclusive opportunities for people to play football across Greater Manchester.
I bring together perspectives from across disability football to understand barriers to participation, identify shared priorities and help shape how organisations can work together to make the game more accessible.
Moorside Rangers Youth Development Lead
Developing Clubs
Looking beyond individual teams to create a stronger environment for everyone at the club.
I work across the wider club, thinking about purpose, culture, pathways, coaches, players, parents and volunteers, and how those different parts come together to create an environment where people want to belong and develop.
Manchester United Foundation Head Coach
Developing Communities
Using football to create opportunities, build confidence and support young people beyond the game.
Through community football programmes, I've worked with young people to develop skills and confidence in an environment where football provides the starting point for something broader.
A career highlight
A session I’ll always remember
An opportunity to take my coaching into a very different environment.
I was fortunate enough to deliver a session at Carrington involving Manchester United first-team players. It was a brilliant opportunity to put my coaching into practice in an environment I'd normally only ever see from the outside.
