CURRENT STATUS

Seeking professional contract for 2024/25 season

I am an academy-trained midfielder with good technical skills, a disciplined approach, and a football brain. Good defensively but also able to switch to attack. Experience at multiple levels - in my 3rd season of adult football while also playing under 21s and university 1st team.

I am seeking a contract for next season (after I finish my studies at UCFB) with a good club looking for a strong CDM.
