Has missed just one game in the past two seasons since coming across to his father’s old club. The former Lion has become a staple in the Dons’ backline unit - durable, dependable, their Best Clubman and Most Improved Player for 2026. Played arguably his best career game against the Blues and looked unflappable defensively. A prominent voice in the group.
