I then moved into teams such as Ashton United and Wythenshawe Town first teams at a teenage level. After a successful season at Ashton, I got a move to Macclesfield Town where I was the U21 captain and won both Players&#8217; Player and Manager&#8217;s Player awards. I had the opportunity to feature in the first team on two occasions. Following this, I moved to Altrincham, where I ruptured my Achilles, which stopped me from playing 11v11 football for a year. After my recovery, I played for Chadderton, then Wythenshawe Amateurs before joining Paddock.<\/p>\n<h3>Significant Moments<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most significant moments in my career was getting the opportunity to feature for Macclesfield Town&#8217;s first team and training with them on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Role at Stretford Paddock FC<\/h3>\n<p>I see myself as a utility player along the back line as I can play in any of those positions. My goal is to help find the best, most balanced team and eventually settle into a permanent position. I&#8217;m a very loud character, so I will always speak my mind while also taking advice and criticism on board. I am always looking to help my teammates and the club.<\/p>\n<h3>Personal Interests and Aspirations<\/h3>\n<p>Within football, I aspire to be part of a team that I can help progress into higher leagues while playing as much as possible. Personally, I want to play at the highest level I can achieve.<\/p>\n<h3>Message to Supporters<\/h3>\n<p>I am looking forward to playing for Paddock this season. We have a great group of core players and tactics\/phases of play that I can get behind. Thank you for your support and I can&#8217;t wait to make you proud on the pitch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div id=\"data-table\"><\/div>\r\n            <script>\r\n                $(document).ready(function() {\r\n                    var csvUrl = \"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRHCfyawa68C8BNx3lGGiL1AO2x0pSbP4o_D5ABouVQKlwxKyhyCcCo2t9mvUjMN7RtbjkRnCkCa0hR\/pub?output=csv\";\r\n                    setTimeout(function() {\r\n                        var firstName = $(\".fname\").text().trim();\r\n                        var lastName = $(\".lname\").text().trim();\r\n                        function normalizeName(name) {\r\n                            return name.replace(\/[\\s-]\/g, \"\").toLowerCase();\r\n                        }\r\n                        var normalizedFirstName = normalizeName(firstName);\r\n                        var normalizedLastName = normalizeName(lastName);\r\n                        $.get(csvUrl, function(data) {\r\n                            var rows = data.split(\"\\n\");\r\n                            var html = \"<table>\";\r\n                            var playerRow = null;\r\n                            var rowCount = 0;\r\n                            html += \"<thead><tr><th>Season<\/th><th>Apps<\/th><th>Goals<\/th><th>Assists<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\";\r\n                            rows.forEach(function(row, index) {\r\n                                if (row.trim().length > 0) {\r\n                                    var cells = row.split(\",\");\r\n                                    if (index >= 2) {\r\n                                        var normalizedFullName = normalizeName(cells[0].replace(\/^\"|\"$\/g, \"\").trim()) + normalizeName(cells[1].replace(\/^\"|\"$\/g, \"\").trim());\r\n                                        if (normalizedFullName === normalizedLastName + normalizedFirstName) {\r\n                                            for (var i = 3; i < cells.length - 1; i += 3) {\r\n                                                if (i + 1 >= cells.length) break;\r\n                                                var season = rows[0].split(\",\")[i-1].trim();\r\n                                                var apps = cells[i] ? cells[i].trim() : \"0\";\r\n                                                var goals = cells[i + 1] ? cells[i + 1].trim() : \"0\";\r\n                                                var assists = cells[i + 2] ? cells[i + 2].trim() : \"0\";\r\n                                                rowCount++;\r\n                                                if (rowCount === 6) continue;\r\n                                                html += `<tr><td>${season}<\/td><td>${apps}<\/td><td>${goals}<\/td><td>${assists}<\/td><\/tr>`;\r\n                                            }\r\n                                        }\r\n                                    }\r\n                                }\r\n                            });\r\n                            html += \"<\/tbody><\/table>\";\r\n                            $(\"#data-table\").html(html);\r\n                        });\r\n                    }, 300);\r\n                });\r\n            <\/script>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":9934,"template":"","meta":[],"squads":[58],"role":[64],"class_list":["post-9599","players","type-players","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","squads-first-team","role-defenders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/players\/9599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/players"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/players"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"squads","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/squads?post=9599"},{"taxonomy":"role","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stretfordpaddockfc.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/role?post=9599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
