I pride myself with the ability to be a positive leader and role model on and off the court, as well as an activator and reliable team member.
I have recently transferred to Bracknell Cobras and have made a successful transition into the team, I have adapted to new styles of play, bonded with new teammates and my basketball IQ has also developed and strengthened from this move.
