I’m officially at the age I don’t wanna be around people who aren’t self aware. continuously putting themselves in bad positions, making bad life choices, toxic ways/lifestyles, no priorities lacking accountability etc.

Any young player going into non-league on loan from the professional game or after being newly released: Don’t come down and fit in. Come in and show why you were where you were. Raise the standard every day. Train harder, think quicker, compete harder. Make people look at you and say, “He shouldn’t be playing at this level.” Your environment changed. Your standards shouldn’t.

If you made 1 professional appearance, you made it. Not 10. Not 100. Just 1. Only a tiny percentage of players ever reach the professional level. Don’t let anyone take that away from you because your career wasn’t longer or bigger than someone else’s. We came from NOTHING. We dreamed of becoming pros, and we did it. A professional footballer is a professional footballer. ⚽❤️

Dear Lord, Today, I walk into what’s next with the kind of faith that doesn’t flinch. Let what shaped me show up in how I lead, decide, and respond. Let every challenge reveal brilliance, not wreck me. Let what You spoke guide my choices, and let what’s in me shift the outcome. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾

Go where you’re wanted and valued. That’s my advice to any non-league player. Don’t choose a club just because the name, level, or league sounds good when you say it out loud. Choose the place where you’re trusted, appreciated, and given the chance to play. A season is too important to waste.

In this life stop relying on people can’t even rely on themselves.

Young men who are trying to make it Don’t make the same mistake I did. I spent too much time thinking I had more time. one day you’ll thank yourself for the work or wish you’d done more of it. Every early morning, every late night, every sacrifice compounds. The days feel long, but the years move fast. Build the discipline now. Future you is watching.

Football doesn’t reward potential. It rewards repetition under pressure.

To all the young players out there, a word of advice. Stop waiting for your agent to "get you a move" do your own work, put your front foot forward and make a choice that's your happy with. Waiting your “agent” to get you £20 more instead of going with your heart and playing 40 games is a decision you need to make.

I lived this myself. One day you’re in a professional environment where your kit is folded, breakfast and lunch are provided, and your daily routine is planned for you. The next, you’re released and left wondering what’s next. Do I have a CV? How do I apply for jobs? What does a job interview even look like? How do I navigate life outside football? Clubs invest heavily in coaching, facilities, performance staff, and player development and rightly so. But there also needs to be greater investment in what happens after a player is released. For many young men, football has been their entire world. When that ends, the transition can be overwhelming. A stronger aftercare system, career guidance, education, and practical life support should be part of every club’s responsibility. Developing players is important. Preparing people for life beyond the game is just as important.

The aftercare system at professional football clubs needs serious attention. For every player who makes it, many more are released. Too often, young men are sent into the world with little support, no clear direction, and no preparation for life beyond football. These clubs help shape these players for years. That responsibility shouldn’t end the moment a contract does. Better education, career guidance, mental health support, and transition planning aren’t luxuries ! they’re necessities. Releasing players without a proper pathway is risky for them, their families, and their futures. We can and should do better.

Nobody really talks about how waiting on God is hard. Somedays you have it all together and some days your itching your head wondering how long this season would take.

Social media was created by the devil. It’s actually made society a terrible place. It’s made envy funny and it makes your failures funny . When you post happiness or success it’s wired peoples brain to not like and almost hate it.

Thank you God just for the ability to be able!

I GENUINELY LOVE MY LIFE. ENJOY EACH MOMENT. WE ARE NOT GETTING IT BACK. BE HAPPY JUST BECAUSE. PLEASE. LONG MAY THE BILLS BE PAID.
