Staff Biography
I started at FITC in 2000 and became a fulltime member of staff in 2001 where I delivered after school clubs, day visits and soccer schools and opened up our first specific goalkeeping centre and PDC.
In 2004 I became FITC's full time Disability Officer working with many Special Schools and Adult Centres giving players with disabilities the opportunities to play football. In 2007 the Ability Counts Programme won Best Community Initiative at the Football League Awards.
Away from FITC I am have been involved for the past 4 seasons with Norwich City's Academy coaching the goalkeepers. I have been very fortunate to work with the likes of Declan Rudd and Jed Steer who have represented England at U17 and U16 respectively. Many of our current Academy goalkeepers have progressed through our FITC GK PDC.
I also deliver the current FA Level 1 GK course in Norfolk and Suffolk and I also coach the GK's for the England Amputee Squad and recently travelled to Turkey with the squad for the World Championships.
