“No guilty pleasures, if they’re not guilty.”

Do you have any nicknames?

Not really one specifically but I do get called a few different things like; Maximus, Maxibon, Ant McPartlin.

What do you get up to in your spare time?

Usually picking things up and putting them down again, though I do like to get out skating and paddle boarding.

Do you have any phobias?

Looking at my Emirates NBD messages after a session.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why?

Teleportation for sure. Instant global travel and swift Barasti Beach Bar exits.

If you could be one of your team-mates, who would it be?

Harry Hughes because he’s gas…🙄

What’s your guilty pleasure?

No guilty pleasures, if they’re not guilty.

Do you have any hidden talents?

Opening a bottle with pretty much anything.

Who’s the best dancer in the Canes squad?

Josh Elliott. The man’s a weapon on the dance floor.

Who’s in charge of the team music?

Weissenborn usually. It could probably do with a shift change though!

Who’s the tightest?

Tightest? Definitely not Liam Stead, get him drunk and he’ll pay for your night for you. Cheers pal.

What are the best things about the being part of the Dubai Hurricanes?

They’re a sound group of lads to be around, but most important of all…..custom budgy smugglers.

How’s life in Dubai?

Dubai’s great. It has so much to offer in such a beautiful part of the world. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here in the UAE so far. The only downside I would have to say, is living on the surface of Mars for 6 months of the year.
