The Coaches

In 1986 I started my Basketball journey at the age of 15 in school as many people do.  I progressed very quickly and moved into the under 17s & u19’s national league teams which was formally known as Birmingham Bullets where here I was given the opportunity to play up in the men’s team in division 1.

 

As I progressed I moved onto the international England team where I competed with under 17’s and under 19’s playing in the four nations tournament where I gained the MVP we then moved onto the European qualifiers in Italy and France. 

 

1988 led me to attend one year in the American high school system, where I was picked out by the college scouts and was offered a 4 year full scholarship through an American college in Oregon.  I picked Oregon Tech college based on the education and coaching staff , as the Oregon coach  had a winning mentality and fantastic basketball program. From here I gained a wealth of experience and a desire to win. 

 

In 1994 I returned to Birmingham to play in the Budweiser league, the now BBL league, before moving to Coventry for a year.  In 1996 I came to Doncaster and played for Doncaster Panthers for several years.

 

20 years later I’m now back coaching for Doncaster Eagles and giving back to the sport I love and sharing all the knowledge I have gathered over the years.
