Here's the breakdown.🧵

Nine years ago, my dad came home with a call from Watford. I thought it was about a new contract. Instead, he told me I had been released, three weeks after the season ended, after being led to believe I was getting another year. Thirteen years at Watford, and my dad was the one who told me I was done. No meeting, no exit plan, no feedback—nothing.
I was devastated.
I could have pointed fingers and been bitter. Instead, I chose to take ownership and start the next chapter of my career.
What could I control?
I needed a new club but didn’t know where to start. My goal was to get a trial. I trained hard while everyone else took a holiday. I had no agent, so I contacted everyone I knew. My dad emailed every club in the EFL, but no one replied.
Then, thanks to a good word from a manager during my loan at Wealdstone, I got a trial at Wycombe. Day 1 was a fitness test. I ran until I was the last man standing. In the in-house match, I gave everything. A week later, the manager signed me.
Being out of contract is hard. You doubt yourself and question everything. But you have to hang in there. Don’t wait for opportunities—create them. Knock down doors until someone gives you a shot.
If Wycombe had said no, I would have kept going until I found another opportunity. I signed on the lowest salary but had a year to prove myself.
Three years later, I arrived at Sunderland. I faced adversity again and was out of the team for four months. But I remembered my lessons. When the manager asked if I’d played right back, I said yes, even though I hadn’t. I played 50 games that season, including two at Wembley.
1. Get a trial yourself. Use every contact.
2. Be ready for that trial.
3. Show the manager why he needs you.
If you get signed, keep fighting to stay in the team. If not, find another trial and keep going until you can't give any more.
You’ve got this 👊🏼
