Right hand bat, Wicketkeeper
Joined
the Club in 2001 and has only missed a handful of games since.
A talented wicket keeper he has kept in all but one of his
80 matches played to date. In 2004 he became the Club's leading
keeper with a total of 58 dismissals. A highly liked individual
who is very popular with team mates. He can often be seen
turning up for home games on his pushbike with his kit over
his shoulder. Always one for a quick put down and stands no
nonsense especially from bowlers who drift too much down the
legside and one to be feared if he is handing out the end
of match awards - nobody is safe! Can bat anywhere in the
order and also has the nickname 'spanker' for his ability
to punish the bad ball with a healthy slap! Provides great
support to the slower bowlers when standing up and has a fine
collection of stumping dismissal to his name. The Club's Vice
Captain for the 2005 season, as well as being the Club Secretary.
Supporter of Chelsea FC.
