“Jahmai has shown that he is able to work his hardest in the classroom and also on the football pitch. He is able to cope with new challenges that a coach may present him and will endeavour to present a high work ethic, wherever he is positioned on and off the ball. Academically, Jahmai is on target to hit his predicted grade of DMM. He is capable of working independently by following instructions and assignment brief and will contribute to group and class discussion frequently.”
“Jahmai shows what it means to be a role model for young players in our under 18s team being a leader on the pitch and showing a great deal of respect off the pitch also. In our reserves team he is one of our hardest working and most versatile players in our group showing he can play in many positions and perform exceptionally. He is a brilliant footballer with an amazing attitude towards football. Jahmai has excellent football IQ being able to read the game and slow it down or speed it up. He is an amazing talent who performs to the best of their abilities in every game showing defenders raw athleticism and skill on the ball with a hunger to win the ball back high up the pitch and frequently supports the defence in their half.”
