About me
I’m a freelance journalist working in both print and radio. I started at the Southport Champion, a local weekly newspaper. There I developed my writing skills and scent for news before moving to the freelance sports agency Presspass. At Presspass I write for national tabloid newspapers covering Premier League press conferences and matches in the Championship. This is alongside my work in Radio, contributing to Radio City and Buzz fm in Merseyside

Blog
As a freelance journalist you are privy to information, ideas and theories that the general public do not necessarily have access too. Sadly, because the media is confined to the mainstream sports due to time and economics, not all of this reaches the public domain. This blog is a chance for not only myself to air views that would not normally have a platform, but also for you to have your say. This could be in the form of submitting your own subject idea or commenting on what I and other have said. Either way, I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
