From the start of the 2013/14 football season I have been working with the Telegraph Online sports team as a live blogger, covering Premier League football matches for the Telegraph website.

As a senior reporter on the Kettering based team at the Northants Evening Telegraph I was charged with sourcing the most important stories by working the patch and local court and council circuit. I was regularly trusted to handle big, breaking stories, including high profile murder trials.

I also edited the sport sections of the newspaper's website where I had previously pioneered live blogging of local football matches through its content management system.
