The full back joined the rovers in November in 2023. He joins the first team squad as a solid and secure defender.

He started out with Essex Olympian side Basildon Town. During his time there, he won the Olympian division one and senior cup double. He then had a spell at Essex Senior side Basildon United where he was ever present during the season they came runners up in the league. He played fifty appearances and scored one goal in his one season with the bees before he had a spell at Isthmian North side Tilbury. He spent two seasons with the Dockers, playing over forty games.

The defender then returned to Basildon Town and was part of the team that finished runners up of the Essex Olympian Premiership division for two seasons running and achieved promotion to the Thurlow Nunn First Division South. The season after, he was part of the team that just missed out on promotion to the Essex Senior League last season by a solitary point in the 2022/23 season.

The defender linked up with manager Marcus Bowers at the Rovers midway through the 2023/24 season, having played over a hundred games for Basildon Town.
