I’m Website Editor at Planet Football, overseeing our football coverage in the form of written articles and fresh quizzes.

If there’s a story that everyone’s talking about, it’s my job to ensure we’re covering such an event in our stand-alone Planet Football style.

As an editor, it’s my duty to ensure we uphold the highest standards of quality control when it comes to providing accurate and reliable content you can trust with an entertaining and engaging voice.

About

Having completed an undergraduate and Masters degree in History at the University of Manchester, I began writing about football in my free time before entering the profession in 2020.

I began freelance writing for Planet Football, learning the cut and thrust of football journalism on the job and writing features about the sport’s lighter side.

After 18 months as a regular contributor, I went full-time with Planet Football in 2022 as a Staff Writer, before being promoted to Features Editor in 2023 and Site Editor in 2024.

I’m a West Ham United season ticket holder and make sure I apply the high journalistic standards I expect when reading about my own club to every club we cover, from Manchester United to Millwall.
