Parents
Jack came to Solidrock Academy at age 4 as a very shy young boy. After having trained for a few months he began to grow in confidence and start showing signs of being a good player.
​
Coach Peter Barry decided to put him in to play with the older boys. Despite the fact that Jack was out of his comfort zone he played well, demonstrating fearlessness and an eagerness to get on the ball.
​
Peter sent him on yr1 trials at Chelsea Football Club where Jack’s football really took off. He decided to move to Crystal Palace Football Club where he is now a signed u10 player.
