Chris is an attacking midfield player who has been with the Club since the U12 age group.

Chris was monitored by Latics’ former Head of Academy recruitment Kenny Williams for over two years before joining the Club having scored four goals against Latics for Liverpool schoolboys. The forward played a key role in the success of our U18s, helping them win the Professional Development League North title in back-to-back campaigns, as well as becoming the National Champions in May 2021 after a 2-0 victory against Charlton Athletic.

Chris signed his first professional contract with Latics in September 2021 and made his first-team debut on the same day in our Carabao Cup Third Round fixture against Sunderland at the DW Stadium. The impressive forward scored his first senior goal for the Club in Latics' 2-0 victory against League One side Shrewsbury Town in the Papa John's Trophy group stage in November 2021.

After finishing as the top goalscorer for both the U18s and U23s in the 2021/22 campaign, Chris received recognition for his outstanding performances by being named the Michael Millett Academy Player of the Year recipient at the end-of-season awards.

He has since carried over his form into the start of the 2022/23 campaign, scoring on five occasions for the U21s.
