The twenty-two year midfielder was born in Sydney, and now finds himself as one of the few Aussies currently playing in Wales.

Tell us about your early playing  days in Australia.
I started out as a 12 year old in the youth set-up at Northern Spirit, also spending time at Bankstown City and Blacktown City, where I made my senior debut, before being invited to train with an Eccelenza team in Italy. After I returned to train with Newcastle Jets, I ended up transferring up to Queensland where I joined Redland City Devils.  During my time there, I also had the opportunity to train with Central Coast Mariners.

And how did you end up transferring overseas?
In 2009, I joined Auckland City in the New Zealand Football Championship.  As league winners, they played in the OFC League and then the FIFA Club World Cup.  After that stint I moved to Wales, joining a club called Rhyl FC.

How has this season gone both at a club and personal level?
I played a few games in the seniors and reserves early in the season before going out on loan to another Welsh team, Rhydymwyn FC, also in the second division. While there I played 10 games with five assists and scoring twice.  I have now returned to Rhyl and signed for another season.  The club is sitting on top of the league with four games to go so looking good for promotion so hopefully the next few weeks go well.

What representative recognition have you had in the past? And your fondest memories?
I was selected to represent NSW in the Australian schoolboys tournament as a 17 year old. Being part of the World Cup squad that represented Auckland City at the FIFA World Cup in U.A.E during 2009 and  the experience that came with that.

Who have been the more influential football people during your career?
Nick Tarquino always got the best out of me and gave me the opportunity to come overseas.  Also former Socceroo, Marshall Soper who has taught me a lot of his tricky skills and techniques.

Who has been your most memorable team mate and why?
New Zealand centre back Ivan Vicelich, who played all three games at the 2010 World Cup.  He was a role model to all us young players  while at Auckland City.

Along the same lines, your most treasured football memories?
Again, the Club World Cup experience at Auckland City, and this year’s FA Welsh Cup run (knocked out in quarters)

And finally, please tell us your ambitions both at club and national level.
My aim is to be part some way in the Australian set-up for the Olympics.  Like every player, my aim is to represent my country and I think with my skills I can add something different to the team.  Club wise, hopefully to play anywhere in Europe where it is a decent and well structured league.
