Quick winger, who joined the Alex from Aldershot in the summer of 2008 for a fee of £130,000 having helped the Shots to promotion back into the Football League. The London born youngster began his career with Watford as a youth player, and made his debut for the club whilst a member of their academy. His work was awarded with a professional contract ahead of the 2006/2007 season, but not long after the season had begun he joined Aldershot on loan to gain more experience.
Having been unable to break into Watford's first team that year, he was released at the end of the campaign, and then joined Aldershot on non-contract terms before making it a more permanent basis and played a big part in their promotion into the League.
His hard work, enthusiasm and skill caught the eye of the Alex scouts and in June 2008 signed terms with the Alex in a deal that saw a record breaking transfer fee for Aldershot.
