I started as a reporter in the London newsroom in 2017, got promoted to senior reporter in 2019, and then again to correspondent in 2020, before relocating indefinitely to Las Vegas in 2021. I left the company in June, 2023. My byline has also appeared in The Mirror, The Sporting Tribune, and BT Sport. Previously, I worked at GOAL — the world's biggest soccer-only website, where I helped found the GOAL 50 award. I have brought exclusive material, team leadership, and a digital nous to the newsroom for 15+ years and am renowned for my expertise in news, feature writing, the business of sports, and industry-recognized investigative journalism. I have made TV appearances throughout the world — on the BBC and GB News in the UK, on Morning Kombat for Showtime in the US, and The Sun in Ireland. My work has been cited by publications worldwide and fearless reporting has been praised by politicians, CEOs, and editors-in-chief. I'm interested in news writing, long-form journalism, and color commentary. I am open for opportunities in print, online, and broadcast.

If you work in sports, book publishing, documentary, films, commentary, or Las Vegas, then I'd love to meet for a coffee in the morning, or a cocktail by the pool.
