Left school at 15 to pursue my career in football, lucky enough to have a half decent career. After a career threatening injury decided to return to education. Today I received a 1.1 in Business Management (Hons) degree.
All good things must come to an end; after 20 years of playing, I am hanging up the boots.
A big thanks to all the managers and players Iโve played for and alongside. Iโve been lucky enough to have won every trophy in the League of Ireland and the Irish Cup in Northern Ireland
Thank you to all the players, staff and fans

The objective when I signed was to avoid relegation but we achieved so much more with this great group of players including winning the Irish Cup Final. Met a great bunch of lads and enjoyed every minute. Thank you ๐ด๐ขโซ๏ธ

It's been a week of firsts.
I was thrilled to do co-commentary alongside Michael Hammond for BBC at the Irish Cup Quarter Final game today. We watched Glentoran take on Newry City at the Oval.
A close encounter that saw Glentoran advance into the semi-finals.
