Career

Non-league and a move to Watford Agana started his football career with non-league side Welling United whilst working full-time for an insurance company. When his employers moved their offices to Poole he became a part-time professional with Weymouth, signing for £4,500 in March 1984. He went on to make over 100 appearances for the south coast club and represented the England national game XI during his time there.

He made his debut for United on 20 February 1988, scoring in a 1–0 home win against Barnsley. Despite this promising start the team was in decline and the club was relegated at the end of the season. He went on to play 145 times for Notts County, scoring 15 goals.

After leaving County he went on to play for Hereford United, Cliftonville, Leek Town (including a six-game spell as caretaker manager in 1999 ) and Guiseley, where he was player-manager.

Following his graduation he worked for the University of Manchester as a distance learning technology officer, as well as working for Sheffield United's matchday hospitality team. He then began working at Wingfield Academy in Rotherham as a technology support staff where he still works today.
