Previously played under Dean Bamforth at Handsworth last season and he asked me to sign and met Scott for a chat and i’ve enjoyed every minute since.
When did you first sign for Hallam?

Personal target for rest of the season
Obviously I want to play well but I’d love us to reach the play offs and get promotion
Is there a team target for this season?
Get into the play offs. We're more than good enough as a squad but we have just got to get a good run going and hope other teams drop points.
Does the sloping pitch at Sandygate have any bating on your game?
Yeah i think it effects everyone, especially at the moment with the weather, just a mud fest!
Any stand out or favourite moments while playing for Hallam?
Scoring equaliser in the FA Vase on the Sunday and then winning the replay with a bare squad in Manchester on the Tuesday
Do you have any pre-match superstitions?
None that i can think of!
