Freelance reporter and Duty Editor

📝 Bio: I'm a freelance reporter with over a decade of experience watching, writing about, and commenting on top-level professional football. I've covered teams up and down the pyramid, attending and covering matches in places as varied as Tonbridge Angels' Longmead Stadium and our national stadium, Wembley. I'm particularly skilled at match reporting, and pride myself on my ability to tell the story of 90 minutes to the whistle, while I also have a proven track record of accurate exclusive reporting; Mohammed Kudus' move to Spurs last summer being one such example. 

My Football Story: It's been a period of ups and downs since my indoctrination as a Tottenham fan but it was all made worth it in Bilbao. My first-ever game was a 3-1 win over Bolton, at White Hart Lane, as my family and I were accidentally seated in the Golden Cockerel Club. Meetings with Teddy Sheringham, Kasey Keller, and Darren Anderton, and a brilliant Robbie Keane goal, sold me on a dream. 

🎯 Areas of Expertise:

Expert match reporting

Writing engaging player and pundit interviews

Premier League and European football insight 

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham exclusive stories

Precise and reliable sub-editing 

🌟 Favourite Footballing Memory: What else can be said about Bilbao? We may have finished 17th, we may have endured a disastrous injury crisis, but somehow, by hook or by crook, we managed to win a major European trophy. I watched it at home, with my family, and the tears that met the final whistle will be remembered forever. Thanks, Ange, mate.

  2. Liverpool in flight chaos before Eintracht Frankfurt clash

    Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their preparations for this week's Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, after the aircraft taking them to Germany was hit with a "technical issue", meaning that Arne Slot will not be able to conduct a press conference before the encounter in midweek.

  3. Pogba begins new career as ex-Man Utd star awaits comeback

    Paul Pogba may be preparing for his football comeback but he is clearly diversifying his interests after launching a new clothing brand in what could be seen as a major career switch.

  4. PL punishment for Liverpool looming after Man Utd loss?!

    Liverpool will be reminded of the Premier League's multi-ball rules after multiple breaches of the system during their late loss to Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. The rules on how balls are given to players after going out of play changed in 2022, with ball boys and girls no longer allowed to throw them to players, as they are instead positioned on cones, with stars expected to pick them up themselves.

  5. Potter poised to make return with international side

    Graham Potter is reportedly on the verge of making a stunning return to management with the Swedish national team.

  6. No Mbappe, no party as France flop in Iceland

    Didier Deschamps' men were held to a 2-2 draw by a brave Iceland side in Reykjavik, as an experimental XI floundered under the pressure of their bold opponents, who belied their pre-match underdogs tag. France did score twice, coming from behind in the process, but a lack of concentration allowed the hosts to take a well-deserved point from a breathless encounter.

  7. Cape Verde qualify for World Cup

    Cape Verde have officially qualified for the 2026 World Cup, becoming the second-smallest nation ever to punch their ticket into the iconic quadrennial tournament.

  1. Neymar

    Neymar given Brazil lifeline by Ancelotti

    Carlo Ancelotti insists Neymar remains in his plans for the World Cup next year, but has warned the Santos star that he must be fully fit to earn a recall to the final Brazil squad.

  2. Rashford blames Man Utd's 'inconsistent environment' for struggles

    Marcus Rashford appeared to take aim at Manchester United for his recent struggles, as he claims he was playing in an "inconsistent environment" before joining Barcelona on loan in the summer. The England international has scored three goals and registered five assists in 10 games for the Camp Nou club since making the move to Spain, and appears hopeful of remaining in LaLiga permanently.

  3. Richarlison to the rescue as Spurs get lucky in Norway

    Spurs somehow came from two goals down to rescue a late 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt, despite an absolutely appalling performance in the Arctic Circle. Bodo missed a penalty and also had a 2-0 lead, but could not get over the line, as the north London side showed some real grit and determination to earn a point on the road in Europe.

  4. Stones makes decision over Man City future

    John Stones is ready to sign a new contract at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side attempt to extend the England international's stay. Stones' current deal expires in the summer but both parties are reported to be open to prolonging his time at the Etihad Stadium, as he continues to play a key role under Guardiola.

  5. Chiesa breaks silence on UCL squad snub from Slot

    Federico Chiesa has broken his silence on Arne Slot's decision to leave him out of Liverpool's Champions League squad. The Italy international will not be playing in Europe, but he has still maintained his plan for the season is to prove his worth, and attempt to become indispensable under Slot.
