Work history
Press Steward
Preston North End Football Club
Preston, Lancashire
08.2023 - Current
- I write a section in the matchday programme, which requires me to be informative and accurate, as thousands of match-going fans will be reading, as well as directors and board members.
- Controlling the club website during the game is another area of the job, providing live updates to the fans, again demanding accuracy in real time, where I have established my own style on the platform.
- This role also requires me to liaise with the press, requiring brilliant people skills and reliability, having to deal with problems that members of the press and media may have.
Journalist
The Football Faithful
09.2023 - 01.2024
- I wrote for The Football Faithful on a weekly basis, providing over 50 news articles on football at the highest level, reporting on press conferences, transfer news and hot topics in the sport.
- This required brilliant accuracy and timing, making sure to be amongst the first news publication's to report breaking news.
- The articles on this site written by me were regularly published on another website called 'Onefootball', which has almost nine million followers on Instagram.
