My name is Nigel Martin. I am a confident player with good touches, good passes and vision, who remains calm under pressure. I am a starter for Windsor High School Varsity boys soccer team. I have been described as a Swiss army knife on the field in that I can play wherever my coach asks me to. My freshman year, my high school coach primarily used me as a winger; my sophomore year he used me as a holding and attacking midfielder. Currently in my junior year, I am attacking midfielder. 

Throughout the course of my time with my premier club, I have played outside back, holding midfield, winger and forward.This year I will be returning to outside back
