“I’ve always believed in myself that I can make the step up and I feel like I’m ready.

“I want to thank all of the coaches who have coached me up until this point at both the academy and back in Christchurch.

“I also want to thank Chiefy and the first team staff for putting trust in me so early in my football career. It’s now up to me to repay that faith.”
