James Beasant        

Date of birth: 16 March 1989

Height: 189cm

Weight: 94kg

Position: Goalkeeper

Former club: Watford FC

Favourite player and why: Iker Casilas -  a great shot-stopper. Peter Schmeichel - one of the greatest goalkeepers ever. Dave Beasant - the first goalkeeper to captain and save a penalty in an FA Cup Final.

Sporting ambition: To be an established professional goalkeeper.

Career highlight to date: Playing a reserve match against Chelsea at 16 years old, against some of their first team players and saving Carlton Cole’s penalty.

What’s the best thing about the GHA: Training and playing matches.

What have you learnt from Glenn and the team: As a keeper, my positioning, and specifically not to start too far off the goal line as it gives you less time to save a shot.
