I have played football for many years, from junior to senior levels (including playing alongside the son of Lee Rangers founder). The opportunity to take on my own side at Lee Rangers arose and I’m now responsible for the Under 8 Blues. I enjoy helping to coach with Dave, Gemma and Chris and we aim to give all kids at this age group a chance to play football.

I am married and juggle being a parent to two boys with being an Aircraft Engineer. Teamwork and personal development play a big part in running a team of Aircraft Engineers. Along with being a father this should help me on my journey with the Lee Rangers Under 8 Blue team.

With the enormous help of the coaches Gemma and Chris Hillier, our budding touchline reporter Paul Reeve and the kind sponsorship of Fareport Training and P Grundy Building Services Ltd, I look forward to the future matches and seasons with this great group of young players.
