Describe your playing style:
Run around a lot, committed, but don't expect anything fancy!
Premiership player your style most matches:
Francis Coquelin, but probably more back in the days when we lost 8-2 to Man Utd than this season…
What made you want to try VMFC out for the first time:
Moving to a new city it was a great way to meet new people with a common interest and stay fit!
Why should new players join VMFC:
Everyone at the club is so welcoming. This and the regular socials mean that very quickly you’ll have a new group of friends. The training sessions are also well organised and get the balance right between being fun and remaining competitive.
