In his previous club, AFC Wimbledon, he helped at a children’s hospital, participating in a lot of community work supporting children and with coaching. He recently visited a disabled children’s hospice in Northampton, spending time with the children just before Christmas.

He went on to assist in the opening of an organisation called Premier League Kicks, which helps young children who have been involved or surrounded by crime to stay off the street and get involved in football.
