I’m the News Editor at Planet Football, covering all the breaking stories with fresh angles.

If there’s a big development or match that everyone’s talking about, it’s my job to make sure we’re reacting in our unique and inimitable Planet Football style.

Both as a writer and an editor, I make sure we uphold the highest standards of quality control when it comes to providing fact-checking, reliable content you can trust with entertaining, engaging copy.

About

Having completed an undergraduate degree in Ukrainian Language & Culture at University College London, I began writing about football as a hobby before turning my passion into a profession in 2018.

After completing a Master’s degree in Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland, I began freelancing, writing for Planet Football and Leeds Live, covering Leeds United as a press box regular during the Marcelo Bielsa glory years.

After three years as a regular contributor, I went full-time with Planet Football in 2021 as a Staff Writer and was made News Editor in 2024.

Raised in Leeds, I’m an avid fan of Leeds United and make sure I apply the high journalistic standards I expect when reading about my own club to every club we cover, from Barcelona to Bradford.
