Started at 14 years old for the Nottingham Caesars

3 years of Flag Football
Rookie of the year first season with 14 receiving TD's
Offensive MVP the next season

I found flag football very easy, it gave me a great chance to focus solely on ball skills as I wasn't a particularly big guy but I was pretty fast and could beat coverage. I like to think I had pretty good hands too.

Started playing youth kitted at 17 years old
Two years of Youth kitted
Started at WR but quickly switched when our offense was nothing but run, run, run.
Changed to Free Safety and the very last play at Youth Kitted for me was a game winning interception
Played as starting Free Safety and Kick/punt returner mainly.

Went to the Senior Nottingham Caesars 18+ team

Did not get played at all in any games.

Left Nottingham and Signed with Lincolnshire Bombers.

First Preseason game - 2 TD's on wide receiver reverses, game MVP
First regular season game - 2 TD's and one 2 point conversion - offensive MVP.

3 Training sessions later - broke my fingers

After that the rest of the season followed the same way - Dislocated my shoulder and tore ligaments in my knee and work kind of made it difficult to continue even after those were all healed.

Would love to coach!!!

Check out my YouTube footage of my first regular season game for Lincolnshire

I score at 1:07, 1:17 and 2:44, I'm number 88 for Lincoln (white, black, red kit)
Damn! The man's got tape, .
