GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Career section, "He went on to feature as a first half substitute in a 3–3 draw with Bradford City on 2 January 2006" and "He featured for Brentford on five further occasions", I think I know what you mean with "featured", but maybe a re-write might suffice.
- Fixed. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Check.

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, it would be best to link "Ebbsfleet United" once. In the Career section, you might want to link "striker", I mean, I know what it means, but how 'bout your reader.

- Well, it seems that its there for facts, sourceful facts. I wouldn't hold it against you. But, if taken to FAC, I think the source might come up.
