Career

Before Fulham

DJ had previously played for Arsenal's academy before his move to Fulham

Fulham (2010-2015)

DJ made his breakthrough to the U18 squad in the tail end of 2013-14, as U16 players got the chance to step up in the league fixtures due to the main squad taking part in the FA Youth Cup's latter stages. He became part of the U18 squad, however, the following season despite still technically an U16 player.

After Fulham

DJ Joined Manchester United in November 2015, signing scholarship terms. He spent four years there with their academy but failed to break into the first team.

In 2019, he took the bold decision to move abroad in a bid to play first team football, and travelled to Italy, joining Serie B team Spezia. After only a handful of appearances, he was sent out on loan to Serie D team Pergolettese but found oppertunities even fewer there.

DJ signed for Dutch Eerste Divisie side NAC Breda in the summer of 2020. He was later selected to play for Antigua and Barbuda U20 after accepting a call-up, but was later replaced and failed to make his international debut.
