Player Style:
Strong shot stopper, effective at distributing the ball, strong challenger in 1 v 1
Player Strengths:
I am a solid goalkeeper who can effectively stop shots from in and outside the 18 yard box. In close up shots I’m not afraid to but my body on the line, especially in 1 v 1 scenarios. I can also effectively distribute the ball in a variety of ways and control the pace of the game. I bring a high level of intensity to any training session or game. I am a very coachable player and is able to take correction and apply them to my game, I am not afraid to put in the necessary work to earn my spot on the pitch.
