Place of birthNuneaton
NationalityEnglish
Weight75 kg
Height1.78 m
PositionMidfielder

This experienced midfield player was a near ever-present for Halifax Town last season but really came into his own in the vital closing stages of the campaign. He netted with a cracking volley in the 3-0 win over Macclesfield in mid-April and followed this up with similar strikes to ensure victory over Darlington and a draw at Lincoln, thus almost single-handedly ensuring that the Shaymen retained Football League status. He is a player who likes to push forward and is always willing to shoot on sight.
