Elite Academy Football Coach

James is one of our newest members of the PTSA coaching staff, joining in early July 2023. At 20 years old James brings a fresh and modern approach to coaching at our academy. With just under a decade of playing experience within academies in London, James possesses the technical and tactical knowledge to rapidly develop those who play at PTSA. 

James’ football journey started at 9 years old where he was taken in by Leyton Orient FC’s academy, staying until the age of 15 James left for a new outfit with Pro Direct where he would have substantial success on the pitch whilst also cooperating with brands like Nike and HO. Due to this success James was called to play for Bromley FC at the age of 17 where he would play amongst both the academy and first team until the age of 19 where he ultimately decided to pursue coaching. 

In February 2023 James completed his FA level 1 coaching licence along both safeguarding and first aid courses but has expressed interest to get started on the UEFA C licence in the early months of next year to take another step to being closer to his end goal of being a coach at the highest level.
