Football history
Career Timeline
Came through the Ādaži and Carnikava youth setup: FK Ādaži / Carnikava U13 (2018), Leevon Ādaži / Carnikava U14 (2019) and Futbola Parks Academy / Carnikava U15 (2020).
Two seasons in the Futbola Parks Academy U16 side, where he settled permanently at centre-back and grew into a leader at the back.
First senior football in Latvia with Olaine FC, stepping up from academy level into men's competition.
Two seasons at SC Mārupe, establishing himself as a regular senior centre-back in the Latvian league system.
First move abroad, joining FC Wohlen in Switzerland and adapting to a higher-tempo, more physical European league.
Available for trial. Ready to relocate immediately and compete for a place in the English pyramid.

Ambition
Why England
"English football rewards exactly what I do best — defending the front foot, attacking every ball in the box, and competing for ninety minutes."
I have grown up watching the English game and I understand the tempo and physicality it demands. I want to test myself in it now, not in five years.
I hold an EU passport, speak English, and I am ready to relocate immediately for a trial at any level of the pyramid.
"He defends the way English coaches want a centre-back to defend — aggressive, front-foot, and he never hides from the physical side."
"Technically he is a midfielder in a defender's body. He steps into the game with the ball and it changes how we play out."
