Forward

The former Gateshead striker signed in the summer of 2014 from Whitby Town.

 

He came with a track record of scoring goals having helped Gateshead to win promotion twice through the EvoStik Premier and Conference North, and he didn't disappoint for Quakers, scoring 24 league goals in the 2014-15 season

 In just his second competitive appearance for Quakers, he scored both goals in the 2-0 away win at to local rivals Spennymoor Town. He scored more goals for the Quakers than any other player in the 2014/15 season as they won promotion, including the opening goals in the semi-final and final of the play-offs. His semi final goal in the play off was memorable, a towering header from a right wing cross, and he scored in the final against Bamber Bridge with another header.

However, later in the dying seconds of the play off final he sustained an abdominal injury, and he missed the celebrations that followed. He was hospitalised for four days, and missed most of pre-season training, but incredibly returned as a sub at Buxton on the opening day of the season.

He scored in his third game, against Barwell

Appearances up to 5th December: League 9+7; Cups 2+1. Goals: League 6
