ACHIEVEMENTS

I have been playing at Reading hockey club for the past 10 years. From u14s to now I have been in the top team at the club, with one of my years in u16s winning the national plate competition. I have also played for Berkshire county from ages 13-16, ending up beating every county most years.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

“As a forward at Wellington College, I bring both tactical and physical skills to the pitch. One of my main strengths as a player is my pressing. When playing centre forward, I know where I should be standing in relation to the ball and players, applying pressure to the player on the ball and causing them to either make a mistake or be tackled. Offensively, I focus on being in the right position to be able to receive the ball and play forward towards goal. When in the circle, my first thought is always to take a shot on goal, or look for a teammate to be able to make an effective pass to.
