I'm entering my fourth year at Cambridge City, it's a brilliant family orientated club with ambition. I have loved every moment of being involved. 

As we move into 2025 and beyond, our ambitions as a 1st XI are to get the club back into the National League. We have a good squad with a great blend of youth and experience. 

Please come along and support the team as they try to put Cambridge City back to where they belong.
