About

I am a journalist with 17 years' experience in the media industry. I have been Lincolnshire Live and the Lincolnshire Echo's Lincoln City FC reporter since 2016, having joined the Echo in 2006. In September 2020, I joined Reach PLC's Midlands Football department which sees writing about the likes of Aston Villa, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest. I have a wealth of experience in digital reporting, writing and page design. Between 2013 and 2016, I was also a freelance broadcaster for BBC Radio Lincolnshire, covering Boston United FC, providing full commentary and updates from matches and conducting pre and post-match interviews. I successfully combined broadcasting with my online reporting commitments for Lincolnshire Live, the Lincolnshire Echo and the Boston Target. I have successfully adapted to changes in the industry as newspapers have become all-round media businesses. I began my career as sports reporter at the Scunthorpe Telegraph, shortly after graduating from the University of Lincoln, where I studied Journalism.
