Biog

Signed in December 2004 after a trial at the club. An excellent youth signing who started to make a role for himself as a wide left sided midfielder. With footballing intelligence and stamina he became an automatic choice in the U19's, moving up to the Reserves in 05/06 where he commonly played left side of a midfield pair. In January 2007 it was reported that he would not be offered a contract extension.

Even so he went on to win his debut at the end of the season generally having an excellent 06/07 season as a regular in the Reserves with occasional bench spots for the first team. He signed a new 3-year contract in June '07 and had an excellent pre-season with the first team. However a lack of first team opportunities led to him seeking an exit and he joined the Norwegian side Lyn Oslo in January '08.

He signed for IFK Gothenburg in July 2009. Demonstrated his headstrong streak by retiring from international football after being overlooked for the qualifier with Holland in June 2009.
