“Since leaving Stowe, I graduated from Hatfield University with a BA in History and Drama, followed by a PGCE from Oxford University. I was a teacher for 12 years in two schools: Oxford Boys‘ School and Lord Williams‘s School, Thame. I joined Southampton FC in 1998 as Head of Education and subsequently became Academy Director in 2001. In 2006 I joined the Premier League as Youth Development Manager and subsequently became Academy Director at Fulham in 2008. I was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Sport from Solent University in June 2019.”
