I am currently lecturing at UCFB Wembley on Bachelor Arts Honours Degrees in Football Coaching, Management & Talent Development, coaching in the boys’ academy for Watford F.C., and also delivering the UEFA C Coaching Football Qualifications for the English Football Association as a Coach Developer. Before UCFB, I was the Academy Player Welfare and Safeguarding Manager at Watford FC and an Academy Youth Development Phase Coach there. As a Coach Developer, I have also educated Italian, Nigerian & Ethiopian football coaches based in those countries. I have previous experience working at Arsenal FC Academy as a Pre-Academy coach. Foundation Phase and Youth Development Phase for Watford F.C., Pre-Academy Coach for Watford F.C., Head coach for the Watford FC Girls Centre of Football Excellence under 14s team. I have managed the Watford Ladies FC reserve team winning the FA National Reserves Southern Division and finishing runners-up in the 2013 County Cup Final. I have also been a Head coach for Arsenal F.C. Soccer Schools' successful residential camp and London-based non-residential camp. These all give me a well-rounded understanding of development football and its pathways.
