It's been a wild journey since I moved here from London 10 years ago but we've managed to win a lot We've helped numerous players get to college to play, coached at D1 college level coached High school programs you name it. Thank you for the lasting memories and for the friends I've made. So to every single player thank you. And I'll be back soon. #rockyhill #cfcnorth" – via Instagram.
