A bit about me
I was born on 5th March 1975 in Glasgow, and spent the majority of the early part of my working life plying my trade as a professional footballer, a career that took me all around Scotland, into England and even to the far East!
My experiences in football gave me a tremendous insight into dealing with sports injuries and the transition into Sports Therapy was pretty seamless.
I was part of the medical team at St Mirren FC with Jack Ross when they won the SPFL Championship title in 2018.
I also worked as part of the medical staff with St Johnstone Manager Callum Davidson and at Queen of the South with Willie Gibson and Marvin Bartley.
In addition to this I worked with Hamilton FC alongside John Rankin.
I'm a dedicated professional and pride myself in reaching exceptional standards in everything I do.
Here's a timeline of my playing career where I racked up 402 appearances, scoring 30 goals along the way. Hopefully there's many more milestones to come!
