He is coaching the U15’s

Retired, finished at Leatherhead earlier this year after making 5 apps for Bracknell in September. Played 9 times for Ireland, scoring twice and scored 15 goals in 240 appearances for Reading. He’s 37 in November, let’s hope he still has a job here then as that sort of career story would be prime aspiration for the youngsters.
