Two decades at the highest level
I am a UEFA A Licence Football coach with more than two decades of experience across elite women's international football, the Women's Super League (WSL), and the professional men's game in the United Kingdom.
My career includes coaching the England Women's U-23s, and head coach at both Sunderland and Middlesbrough Women.
I was a scout for the England Women's Senior Team and the girls and women's pathway from U-17 to U-23. I also worked at Newcastle United and for the English Football Association as a coach mentor.
Experience
Roles in some of the most respected football environments in the UK and internationally.
My Philosophy
My work is built on honesty, objectivity and development. I provide assessments grounded in elite standards, shaped by real performance benchmarks and long-term growth. I do not produce 'happy sheets'. Every report reflects exactly what a player needs to progress.
