I'll review this article shortly, it's waited long enough for a review. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:22, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"and after the club lost their Academy status moved to the" he moved to
- Corrected as suggested. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"in two months he returned" comma after months
- Corrected as suggested. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"after Reading released him on 10 May 2004 after not being offered a new contract" released and not offered a new contract is pretty redundant; cut one or the other.
- Removed "after not being offered a new contract". Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Aggregate should be linked. I know what it means having read enough footy articles, but others may not.
- Hadn't realised there was an appropriate wikilink. Now added. Mattythewhite (talk)
"He made 50 appearances and scored five goals for the club" the infobox says 39 and 4.
- Have clarified that these appearances were in all competitions. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"He finished the 2007–08 season with 11 appearances for Wycombe" same as above; infobox says 10. Other numbers throughout the article may not match either. Make sure to check all of them, I'm just listing these two.
- Have done this for the rest. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"He rejoined Conference club Kettering on a one-year contract 5 August." on 5 August.
- Done. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"He featured for Kettering" I've probably asked this before, but of curiosity what does being featured mean for footy players?
- Played, but I've reworded it. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"He made his international debut at the age of 19 as a 61st minute substitute in a 2–0 victory over Iraq in a friendly at The Hawthorns on 23 May 2004." this sentence feels like a run-on could it be reworded?
- Reworded to "At the age of 19 his international debut came as a 61st minute substitute in a 2–0 friendly victory over Iraq at The Hawthorns on 23 May 2004". Do you think that's better? Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"He is a "stylish player with a deft touch" I'd use 'he is described as' to start, feels a bit cleaner and better for NPOV purposes.
- Done. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good thing he played for Peterborough and the Trinidad national team otherwise I wouldn't have been so sure of his notability (fifth division's awfully low). I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, had he not appeared in League One/Two for Peterborough and Wycombe and internationally for Trinidad he would have failed WP:FOOTY, but there are certainly articles with less claim to notability knocking about. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know that feeling, at this point on the site most of the major players have article already, so nowhere to go but down. Anyway, everything looks good now so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
