💥 Superpower: Finding what makes a player tick… and then pushing them to the next level.
Louis doesn’t just think outside the box — he’s probably already rebuilt the box into a tactical press with three passing lanes. Bursting with energy and known for his wild (but weirdly brilliant) ideas, Louis is the engine room behind TFDC’s player recruitment, matchday operations, and big-picture thinking.
He brings years of experience across youth work, coaching, education, and community sport — with an unmatched ability to read a game and switch the shape in a heartbeat.

Proud supporter of Newcastle United and his hometown club Tavistock AFC – both clubs are close to his heart (even if only one wears the stripes).
We call him chaos. But it’s the best kind.
