๐ | After packing my life into a car and driving four hours north to a hotel in Shrewsbury, I started my first full-time job in football one year ago today!
I've covered 6โฃ2โฃ games, travelled the country and beyond ๐ช๐ธ and worked with brilliant people!
Here's to the rest! ๐ป
Not ashamed to admit Iโm really proud of this.
Weโve got an unbelievable team and it means a lot to have won the

Very, very special. What a club

My first full season working in the EFL โ
From Burgess Hill Town ๐ ฐ๏ธ to Wigan Athletic ๐
56 matches, 143 goals, 13 programmes, 23 different grounds and my first full-time job in the industry.
2021/22, it's been a blast ๐
Delighted to announce I have joined
@crawleytown
's media team where I'm producing content for their channels and acting as the stadium announcer at home games.๐
Very grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to both the new season and learning how to look at a camera.๐ช
A day I'll never forget. I feel incredibly lucky to have got to experience something like today so early on in my career. ๐ท๐ถ
Regardless of the result, today has been unbelievable and that goal was something ๐๐๐๐ special ๐ฏ
What a night ๐
So many people put so much time and effort into this launch and I can't thank them enough!
It was an honour to meet and work with Graham too - an absolute gentleman! ๐
I hope you've all enjoyed the content as much as we enjoyed making it! ๐ท๐ถ
Aside from the pre-season camp in Spain, the past fortnight has been the best I've had in the job!
Four wins in a row, an insane amount of brilliant content, something exciting every day and engagement on socials is flying almost as much as the lads on the pitch!
What a team ๐คฉ
