Career summary at Wycombe - 22 apps - no goals
What we think: Surpassed all expectations after being drafted into the Wycombe defence during the first half of the 2000/2001 season - being called upon to play in both left-back and right-back roles. Played a major role in the 2000/2001 FA Cup run where he wasn't phased at all against the likes of Leicester City and Liverpool and earlier in the competition had come on as substitute against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park and scored during the now famous penalty shoot-out. Unfortunately suffered an injury early in the 2001/2002 season and missed most of the campaign. Injured again in the early stages of 2002/2003 which proved to be his 'make or break' season at Wycombe. Went on loan to Woking in January 2003 and the deal was made permanent in February with a deal struck until the end of the 2003/4 season and he'll now be looking to get his football career back on track.
