Notable Performances
Jack played a pivotal role in Braintree’s strong defensive record in the National League South last season. Stuart highlights his performance in the playoff final against Worthing:

Passion: According to Stuart, “He’s very passionate. You can definitely see that confidence has grown in the last two seasons alone.”
