  • How did you get on last time under nashy & woody?

    • Last time under Nashy and Woody was at North Shields. I scored 23 goals in the season which got cut short in March due to Covid. Then moved to America for a couple years and Nashy invited me back on the North Shields league winning season for final 10 games

  • What was playing in the USA like compared to over here?

    • Playing in the USA was a good experience. Very hard in the Florida humidity and different as it was roll on roll off substitutes due to the heat. All players were very athletic, more of an athletic side of football rather than tactical and technical.

  • How have you settled into the dressing room since signing?

    • Dressing room at blue star is unreal, almost a carbon copy of what Nashy and Woody created at Shields where there is a togetherness and everyone is really welcoming. All the lads are class, great group of lads and footballers!

    • Target for the season is to build up sharpness again after a stint out of playing at this level. Want to help the team push towards winning a trophy and promotion.

  • Go to pre-match meal?

    • Pre match meal differs, don’t have any sort of ritual but I am partial to a Greggs now and again......

  • Black & White or Red & White?

    • When I’m standing on the pitch and playing I’ll have to go black and white, when I’m watching on television always red and white.....
