Voted specialist correspondent of the year 2016, 2017 and 2021 at the Sports Journalism Association Awards. Also won 2017 scoop of the year. Role involves a mixture of news, features, analysis and comment. From 2004-2012 I was sports editor of guardian.co.uk, during which time the site was known for its writing, intelligence and innovation - which included setting up the Football Weekly podcast - and won several awards. They included the 2005 AOP Awards, which my team was praised by the judges for its razor-journalism and a wit that "fizzes like a Shane Warne leg-break" and the 2011 website of the year at the prestigious Sports Industry Awards.Occasionally appear on Radio and TV. Ghostwrote Greg Rutherford's autobiography. Play chess reasonably badly.
