My Playing Career
Developed within Chelsea and Reading academy systems from the age of 8.
I turned professional at Wycombe Wanderers at 16 and unfortunately retired through injury at aged 20 cutting my career short.
My Coaching Career
Academy Coaching Experience:
After retirement, I coached within academy systems, working with high level youth players that have gone on to play in the Premier League.
I have seen first hand what separates players who “look good” from players who make it.

My Philosophy
Consistency under pressure.
Anyone can do something once in training, but few can do it repeatedly under pressure.
Anyone can scan before receiving the ball, but can you do it every time in a game?
Anyone can work hard for ten minutes, but can you do it every session, every week?
At Savage Football Academy, we focus on:
-
Consistency of attendance
-
Consistency of effort
-
Consistency of technical quality
-
Consistency of behaviour and standards
That is the difference between good players and professional players.
Why that Matters for your Child
Sessions are structured.
Repetition under pressure.
Clear progression from unopposed to game realistic scenarios.
Players are challenged to raise their baseline, not just their highlights.
