Assistant Editor

Bio: One of GOAL's Assistant Editors, I am something of a jack of all trades having written across news, business, culture and sport in a decade-long career to date. I started out in local news in Slough and subsequently Bristol after completing my NCTJ qualification at the Press Association in London in 2016, eventually moving into sports journalism and joining GOAL in 2022. I've recently spent some time living in France where I had first-hand experience of the chaotic beast that is Olympique de Marseille, but now I'm back in the UK you'll usually find me writing about Chelsea (with whom I have a love-hate relationship). I'm also interested in exploring the increasingly salient intersection of football and culture, and environmental issues affecting the game.

My Football Story: My love affair began at a young age when I would live and breath football, playing on the school playground, playing in the garden, playing in the park, playing in the house, playing for a club at the weekend, and coming home to watch grainy VHS recordings of Match of the Day. That progressed to poring over every last word of the sports pages as I got older, completely ignoring the rest of the newspaper.

Areas of Expertise:  

  • The crazy goings on at Chelsea Football Club
  • The intersection of football and culture
  • Madness at Marseille
  • How climate change is affecting the modern game
  • In-depth features on Premier League & European football

Favourite Footballing Memory: I will never forget watching on TV at home as Chelsea dismantled Barcelona in the Champions League in 2005, despite Ronaldinho's brilliance, but it's hard to top covering the Blues at Stamford Bridge as a journalist for the first time - the 7-0 victory over Norwich in 2021.

    Frank is super again! Lampard masterminding Coventry promotion bid

    It was always going to be interesting to see which way Frank Lampard would turn when his ill-advised, ill-fated second spell in interim charge of Chelsea came to a sorry end in May 2023. With his managerial reputation in tatters following his January sacking by Everton, would he throw himself at the next Premier League vacancy that cropped up, or would he take stock and aim to come back stronger? Two years on, he will be overjoyed that he pipped for the latter.

    Fulham's breakout star who could be England's answer to Pedri

    Seven games into the new Premier League season, this already represents a breakout campaign for Fulham academy graduate Josh King. The 18-year-old midfielder has swiftly surpassed the total number of senior minutes he managed last term, and he has been one of the standout young players in the division in the opening weeks - catching the eye with his dynamism, fearlessness and composure.

    No Yamal, big problem? Rashford must step up for Barca

    Barcelona's first stop on the long road to European glory takes them to Newcastle, where they will come up against a formidable opponent and equally formidable atmosphere at St James' Park without the talismanic Lamine Yamal. The injured 18-year-old has been ruled out, having found himself at the centre of a feud between club and country, but loanee Marcus Rashford will be determined to make an impact in his absence.
