For the last 15 years I have coached goalkeepers at Youth, EOS & Junior levels. Managing to win various Youth League titles and cups, including the U19 Scottish Cup however in 2011the opportunity arose and I moved up to the Junior grade and in 2013/14 won the South Division title. Following that success & After 10 years’ service I moved from Edinburgh United to Haddington Athletic to become their first ever Junior team’s goalkeeping coach, in 2014/15 I was part of the successful coaching team who won the South Division (again), last season was spent pushing for promotion from the Premier League, during my time at Haddington I created a youth goalkeeping development programme for the club to follow, In my playing days I kept goal for several amateur outfits in the capital, reaching the heady heights of playing for the select squad.
