About Me

Hi, I’m a published author and freelance journalist living in Manchester, England.

My debut book ‘Winner Stays On: England with The FA Cup for a Compass’ was released with Pitch Publishing in January 2024 and received coverage from BBC Radio 5 Live, TalkSPORT and Reader’s Digest. My writing often engages with the social and political aspects of sport.

Outside of sport, I enjoy exploring complex ideas by asking simple, everyday questions - Why do coffee shops play music? What makes a snooker table so aesthetically pleasing? - and conducting first-hand research to tell human stories. If it interests me, I'll write about it. Simple.

Whether it’s spending twenty-four hours in the kitchen of a classic French patisserie or joining a group of eSports fanatics for a tournament in Cologne, there is nothing I love more than going out on assignment.

Please commission me and give me an excuse to go do fun stuff.
