- Talk about your coaching career? – I did my coaching courses in Aberdeen, I did a bit of coaching with Dundee United and Montrose, I did the first team at Montrose as well as the youth development. I then did a bit of coaching with a person up here in Aberdeen and we had 27 goalies from ages 12-18. I then joined Allan Smith here at Aberdeen and this is my 2nd season and the first time that I have worked with girls and I am very impressed with the standard.
- In your coaching career to date, has there been any highlights? – A young lad called Ryan Booth from Inverurie joined us at the goalkeeper academy when he was 8 and he is now on professional forms with the Tannadice club and has been with them for 4 seasons now. Ryan has also played Under 17s level with Scotland. In addition, the girls here at Aberdeen. It’s good to see players getting picked for Scotland.
