I'm delighted to reveal that I've been given the Head of Media title at Alvechurch FC.
When I started my journey seven years ago, I've always dreamt I'd reach a point where I would have that title. Another huge milestone for me in my media career.
Thank you all. ๐

Started off as the media assistant this year and slowly took on more work before becoming the Head of Media at Alvechurch.
I'm really proud of the work gone in this year for the first team and lots more to do to get it to where I would like it to be.

I've never, ever, had a season like it - thank you to The Church lads that have made every Church fan proud to be a part of this journey you've taken us on this season. โค๏ธ
Just a decent night's work. ๐
Buzzing for everyone at the club to have our hands on a trophy. It's been an emotional season, a difficult season at times. ๐
On the side, I've enjoyed every moment of my media work this season, and these moments make it worthwhile. ๐๐กโซ๏ธ
Honoured.
It's been a tough season mentally for myself as well this year taking on a lot, but to be handed a recognition award tonight, I'm truly thankful for everyone's support at the club. It means more. โค๏ธ
My time at Solihull Moors Football Club will come to an end over the next few weeks after a six-year run at it.
Naturally, I am gutted but I know that I have met some incredible people and worked so hard to get to where I am today.
Thank you all for your support. โค๏ธ
So proud of all the work that has been put in across the Alvechurch social media channels to get them flying in 2023. But, I know we can go further, and that's my aim for 2024. ๐
I'm looking to go as far as I can in media. I love it. And I wouldn't change it! ๐

Absolutely love this video. Gets me every single time I watch it back. ๐
Two reasons why I find it hilarious; one being the gaffa's reaction to the push from Edgey but also Jed's pose in the background whilst Ian argues his case...

Said it from day one when I walked in, I had a good feeling about the group. We've had a few transitional phases throughout the last year and a bit, but the lads stick at it and are professional. ๐
Unbelievable achievement.

Echoing what I said earlier.
Honestly, what a season for the Women's team. All the talk will be about 3 promotions in a row, or the league title this year.
But to come up to tier six of Women's football, and go the whole season unbeaten really is a testament to the girls. ๐
