Things are going very well at the moment , to be honest I’m quite proud of my journey so far. In my career I’ve always tried to take things step by step . As long as there’s progress I’m happy.
Everton Fc a legendary club , how did it all start ?
I was playing for my school’s football team in a cup match , we won and the following day a scout from Everton which turned out to be my sports teacher told me that the club is interested in bringing me in for trials.
I went in and after a trial match at half time I got substituted I was annoyed because I was enjoying the game . But in fact it was just to make me sign straightaway as apparently there were other clubs watching.
Did you have any Role models growing up ?
A lot of players inspired me when I was younger , the likes of Ronaldinho , Henry , Beckham and Rigobert Song plus more.

At Morecambe , you sign your first professional contract . What makes it that you did not stay there ?
It was a great experience with quality players and staff but I felt as though as captain of the U21’s I wasn’t being pushed enough into the first team.
In July 2018, You signed with Huesca Fc in LaLiga . How did you feel being part once again in one of the best leagues in football ?
For my part I was very happy, I saw it as a reward for the hard work that I put in on a daily basis since I was released by Everton as a schoolboy. I didn’t see it as a coincidence.
A historical moment for the Club , its first time in LaLiga since 1960 , difficult for a young player to get games in this scenario ?
Yes , we were fighting for survival , every game was a battle hence trusting inexperienced young players was difficult.
But at the time I was still believing that next week could be the time when I get called up. Sadly it never happened.
