HEAD COACH/DIRECTOR
I am a UEFA B qualified coach and I have been involved within football all my life combining 19 years as a professional, and over 20 years coaching and managing players of all ages including semi professional clubs.Having served my apprenticeship with the then champions of England and Europe, Aston Villa in the early 80's, and continuing to play over 450 professional games I feel I have a wealth of experience to pass on. Parents of our students can be assured that they will be given my 100% commitment and drive for them to succeed and support in the next step of their life journey.It has always been a passion for me to help develop young students as football players and human beings. For the last four years I ran the Draper Norton Football Academy with my long term friend Mark Draper at Nottingham University. We emphasised the education programme and had great success in seeing our students graduate to various universities. Football is a very difficult career so the importance of gaining qualifications is immense.I look forward to your next steps.Good Luck.
