This experienced player/coach joined the Club from Aylesbury United in summer 2003, as Steve Cordery’s assistant. A proven player at the highest level, he scored over 150 goals in a professional career which started with his local club, Southampton, and moved on to Huddersfield Town, Reading, Swindon Town, Bristol City, and Brighton & Hove Albion.  Whilst with the ‘Saints’ he made a dozen or so appearances in the Premiership, scoring once.  His pro’ career ended when Leyton Orient released him following the Wembley play-offs in 1999 (after short spells with Dunfermline Athletic, and in Hong Kong with Happy Valley).  He first joined ‘Cords’ at Hampton & Richmond Borough, moving on to Aylesbury in summer ’02.  In 2002/3, he was amongst the Premier Division’s top marksman with 26 league and cup goals for the ‘Ducks’.  A very influential character both on and off the pitch who lends the benefit of his experience to all his team-mates.  Can still be seen playing masters football for Southampton, and he coaches for Barnet FC and their Southgate College academy team.
