Coach's Overall Comments:
Physically, good. A good 1v1 defender. His work rate and coachability are excellent. Desire and physical ability definite assets. He could do more to improve his attack. Make more overlapping runs and get in more crosses to add to his game. Would benefit from games at PDL level.
