“I trained at Bolton with Steve as my individual coach between the ages of 10-13. In that time, I made some big strides as a player. Working with Steve, I learnt a lot about being disciplined and he taught me the values of becoming a top player. Steve expected extremely ambitious standards from myself and it’s all for the right reasons.
He had a good balance of being ‘tough’ while, at the same time, making the game enjoyable. He created a fantastic team environment at Bolton, which made everyone want to compete 100% all the time and get the best out of themselves. I’ve been coached by some of the world’s top coaches and Steve played a huge role in my career.”
