Since 2019, Football has been my reason. Having retired from playing soccer in Europe and seeking a new challenge, I never dreamed that heading down to the local American Football team's come and try session would lead to the opportunities I have been so fortunate to experience over the past 7-years.

Since then, I have had the opportunity to not only represent my state and win two National Championships along the way but also the the privilege of playing for my country in 2025, having the honour of being voted as team captain by my peers.

Now, I’ve been selected to represent Australia again at the Festival of Football in New Zealand.

As with most amateur sports in Australia, athletes are required to cover a large portion of the costs ourselves, including flights, accommodation, uniforms, and tournament expenses.

To help get there, I’m raising funds through the Australian Sports Foundation. Donations over $2 are tax deductible, and every contribution, no matter the size, genuinely helps ease the financial pressure of representing our country.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey over the years and in the future - I appreciate it more than you could know.
