1. When did you sign for Jeanfield and how did it come about?

In 2005, I was playing with Jeanfield under 19’s, after that most of the boys made the step up to the junior team but I went and played amateur for a season. I was still close with all the boys and went to the end of season prize giving, I ended up speaking to the management team and it wasn't hard to persuade me to come back. I agreed to sign for the following season.

2. Can you remember your first game for the club?

I actually can, it was a friendly against Stirling Albion back at Simpson park, not sure of the score though.

3. Which was the best Jeanfield team you have played in?

It’s a toss up between the side that won the Central league and GA cup in the season of 2012/13 or the team that won the premier league in 2015/16, think the latter just edges it as the league was so tough.

4. What has been your favourite moment?

I think winning three league titles all rank up there. It’s not very often teams from Perth win leagues at that level and I have been very fortunate enough to do it 3 times.

5. What moment would you rather forget?

Losing on penalties in the GA cup final at Tannadice to Lochee United.

6. Who is the best player you have played with?

Both different types of players but John Anderson and Tony Holt on their day could win you a game on their own.

7. Who has been your toughest opponent?

Bryan Deasley from Lochee United

8. What advice would you give your younger self starting out?

Train as hard as you can. I could’ve pushed myself more back in my younger days which would have benefitted me more on the park.

9. What makes a great keeper in your view?

Probably how you bounce back from making a mistake. We're in the unfortunate position that if we make an error it tends to lead to a goal, you’ve got to put it to the back of your mind straight away and get back and focused.

10. Tell us us a funny moment from your time at the club (keep it clean : )

I don’t have too many that I could share on here but one that sticks in my head was when Chris Dodd and Jamie Reilly had a fight at training one night. It was like two 10 year old girls, both slapping each other and running away, none of the boys even went to spilt it up as it was so ridiculous, we were in stitches.
