“Score the ones you’re meant to score. Then learn the ones you’re not.”

Lead coach of the U10 Hawks for six seasons. Spent four years in West Ham’s Foundation Phase coaching team before joining Romford United full-time in 2020.

Specialises in the final third — finishing, body position, runs in behind, and that calm head in front of goal. Has produced two academy-signed players in the last three seasons.

What parents say

The receipts.

“Marcus came back buzzing after one session with Daryl. He scored a hat-trick the next Saturday.”
Dani T. · Mum of Marcus, U10
“Patient, technical, and never patronising. Oscar asked to book another session before we’d left the car park.”
James O. · Dad of Oscar, U12
“She’s left-footed and most coaches don’t know what to do with that. Daryl gets it. She’s a different player after four sessions.”
Aisha P. · Mum of Sienna, U12
