Since joining Planet Rugby in 2005 on a casual basis whilst at University, my involvement progressed from part-time to full-time when a position opened up at the website’s then Cape Town base. After four enjoyable years in South Africa that included covering the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, I moved back home to England and became Editor in 2017.
I was born and raised in West Lancashire and graduated from Leeds University with a degree in Sports Journalism.
