He told the club's match programme: "Receiving the scholarship offer was a big milestone for me. I got the news in March last year and was thrilled. While I’ve known for a while, the real work begins now. I’m excited to start on this full-time football journey and ready to embrace the challenges ahead. My family was very proud when I shared the news, and their support motivates me.

"A standout moment in my career was saving two penalties on my England debut against Turkey. I was determined not to lose that shootout, especially after the Under-14 finals loss on penalties. 

"I’ve had the opportunity to play for both the Under-18s and 21s, which are big steps up from under-16 level. My Under-21s debut against Enfield Town was particularly memorable due to the different experience of having supporters behind me and the unique challenges of the pitch. I enjoyed it and look forward to more of these experiences this season."
