Overview
- The former Tottenham academy midfielder joined Manchester City’s under-21s in 2024 and trained with Pep Guardiola’s first team alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.
- He logged only one Premier League 2 appearance for City’s under-21s, coming on late for Nico O’Reilly.
- Injuries, including a four-month layoff last season, disrupted his development and contributed to his reassessment.
- He earned A*, A*, A at A-level in maths, economics and history, passed the national law aptitude test, and secured a Brasenose College place confirmed in January.
- Now studying law, he plays for Oxford’s university side and says first-team drills that felt like “running after the ball like dogs” made clear the professional track no longer fit.
