“Zane is a great all round football athlete, a good learner and a team player. He always takes on board information given to him and applies it to his game. Zane is very effective both on and off the ball and always works hard for the team, he always shows confidence on and off the pitch. I have coached zane over a number of years from an early age at Under 9s. He has gone on to represent a number of high level teams across london and Kent within the Kent youth league and junior premier league and also representing his district side which was also a great achievement for Zane. I strongly believe that Zane has a great champion mentality to go far within football. His all round play is a joy to watch. He is a player with great game Intelligence and ball mastery and is a huge asset to any team. He always looks to improve and better himself in every game and training session which shows his strong mentality and work ethic. He always gives 100% every time he plays and gives everything to win. Zane can play a number of positions due to him being both footed, his key positions would be as a number 10 (CAM) and centre mid, whilst he can also play out wide on the wings. Zane versatility further highlights how much of a valuable asset he is to any team. As a coach I have seen him develop in to a great player and person both on and off the field. He has great people skills and sportsmanship which is another key characteristic of Zane. Zane would be a great asset to soccer assist both academically and on the pitch with his personality, determination and work ethic and will be a great role model for others. ”
“I have had the privilege of working with Zane this season at Ebbsfleet United U19 team, where he has been an important part of our midfield. Zane has primarily played as a centre defensive midfielder, showing excellent awareness, discipline, and composure. He is very comfortable on the ball and consistently demonstrates a good range of passing, helping to build play from deep areas and link the team together. One of his standout qualities is his ability to glide past players with ease, using close control and balance to progress the ball under pressure. While Zane has excelled in the deeper midfield role, he definitely has the ability to play further forward in midfield thanks to his vision, technical skill, and attacking instincts. Throughout the season at Ebbsfleet United U19, I’ve been impressed by Zane’s work ethic and commitment to improving his game. He is eager to learn, applies feedback well, and consistently puts in the extra work both in training and on match days. His positive attitude and versatility make him a valuable asset to any squad. I am confident that Zane will continue to develop and make a strong impact wherever he plays.”
