Date of birth: 2 November 1987

Height: 170cm

Weight: 70kg

Position: Attacking Midfielder

Former club: West Ham United

Favourite player and why: Andres Iniesta - he has great feet, keeps the ball, with great creativity, excellent movement and does well for his team.

Sporting ambition: To play football in la Liga for a big club and then a cap for my country.

Career highlight to date: Being offered a pro contract and being selected by Glenn for the GHA and having the opportunity to play at the highest level possible.

What’s the best thing about the GHA: Being able to play football out in Spain against good Spanish teams and to be seen by Spanish scouts and to play for a Spanish club one day.

What have you learnt from Glenn and the team: I have learnt to be more reliable on and off the ball, taking fewer touches by moving the ball quicker. Being consistent and learning my role for the team, at the head of the diamond.
