Paul was one of Draytons stars last season and has improved no end. He is very vocal with the back-line and is good when coming out for crosses. Paul was one of the founding members of Farlington where he was a star creating chances aplenty down the left-wing he was switched to goalkeeper midway through the 1998/99 season after an injury to 'keeper Chris Acres and has gone from strength to strength ever since. There are just two things that Paul needs to improve on to become a top-class 'keeper. He needs to have the bravery to us his hands when there is some big guy running at him rather than kicking it clear and he needs to grow as he has suffered by being lobbed quite frequently. This season Paul has gone from strength to strength after keeping Hayling in single figures due to some heroic 'keeping.
