Yeah, so I actually got told quite early that we were going to get given, me and my brother were going to get given pro contracts.

It was around, I think I was like 14.

Wow, that's young, man.

Yeah, it was really young.

So I got told I was going to get like a scholar and then I think it was like a two-year pro or something like that.

But then things progressed quickly and obviously at 16 I was in the first team already.

Yeah.

I was playing without a professional contract and then on my 17th birthday, that's when I signed and then yeah, it went from there.

A little bit, because the first time I trained, I was 15, still in school, and they told me to come over on like a Friday session.

And I remember the 18s coach at the time, Steve Wigley, telling me that I was going to train, and I was obviously happy but really nervous at the same time.

Yeah.

And then, yeah, I did the session.

I was okay.

It wasn't too much.

I think it was one of those ones where small side of the game, corners, and then it's done, you know?

Yeah.

so I did that and then I remember the following season I think he must have obviously liked what he saw a little bit Slavica Yechanovic and then I was with the first team for pre-season and the following season so yeah it just started from there

Scott Parker was there.

Yeah.

Scott Parker.
