He's no a quitter. He's a battler and he got the fighter mentality from his grandfather (boxing as a hobby). Believed in himself despite the concerns of his father for his future with CFC (Academy to the Pro). He grew up as a footballer and person by leaving his hometown (Portsmouth) at a early age and with his loan (Vitesse Arnhem/Derby Country).
He always had a positive attitude.
That's what earned him a contract and a spot into the team.
An example to follow without any doubt.
