Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of working with Rhys for a year, and I really enjoyed every minute of it. His attention to detail is exceptional and he's always calm, composed and able to communicate his points clearly and effectively. I also had a few 1-2-1 sessions with Rhys and they were right up there with the best coaching sessions I've had in my career. Position specific and exactly what I needed. I couldn't recommend him highly enough."

Josh McEachran

Bristol Rovers - Former Chelsea & England U21

"Rhys helped me massively when I was a young player at Bristol City. He would make a huge effort to try and help identify, and then work on, areas to improve in my game. This would usually be after team training sessions and I always enjoyed the level of detail and care in his sessions. These sessions that I had with Rhys helped to lay the foundations for the rest of my career and I would definitely recommend him as a coach and person to any player looking to improve their game."

Joe Morrell

Former Wales international

"I worked with Rhys during my time at Wolves and he helped me develop a lot as a player. I often went to him 1-2-1 and he often picked out the finer details that some coaches wouldn't see. Rhys is someone who is very easy to talk to and gives honest feedback. I often went to him when I had a question about my game and he would always come back with an answer. He is a great coach and a really genuine person."

Caden Voice

Cardiff City & England youth

"I have been working with Rhys for a while now. We have been working on things tactically that I can add to my game and breaking down my games to see what I can improve on and take into training and games. He is professional and provides knowledgable feedback. I would highly recommend Rhys."

Jack Sparkes

Bristol Rovers

"Rhys is a passionate and dedicated coach who delivers enjoyable, well-organised sessions with good attention to detail. He is a genuinely good person who helps on and off the pitch."

Ben Sheaf

Wrexham

"Rhys has really helped me with additional support in 1-2-1 meetings, providing good detail and individual feedback after games. Rhys carried this detail onto the pitch with individual sessions reflecting the analysis. This helped me gain a lot of confidence and improve my game. Rhys is a great person on and off the pitch"

Ollie Dewsbury

Bristol Rovers & Wales youth

"Doing analysis with Rhys was beneficial for me in terms of going through both on and off the ball actions from my games. He would ask good questions and give his opinion on what solutions I could use to tackle different situations in the future. I would highly recommend players to speak to Rhys."
