What is your favourite Knights memory?
The first Scunthorpe Alphas game in our associate season. It was the only game I could play that year so I made sure I reminded everyone what I could do.
When did you join the Knights and what made you stay?
I joined the Knights in 2017 after graduating and playing at Uni. When I joined, the Knights were still applying for league status but the quality of players and coaches that were already here inspired me to be apart of this great team, striving to shock and impress everyone.
What advice would you give to someone joining the sport?
Listen to your coaches - it's the best way to improve. Watch film, watch yourself, see where you went wrong and watch others to see what it is that makes them so good. And lastly, to have fun - if you enjoy playing you'll naturally improve week to week.
Why should players pick the Knights?
The Knights care about you as a player, as an individual, which is why we're strong together. It's a brotherhood with the same goals, playing for each other on the pitch.
