    Duty Sports Editor
    Press Association Aug 2008 - Oct 2018
    Yorkshire
    I often held the reins on the Press Association sports desk and handled the breaking of major sports news stories.This involved setting and influencing the daily PA sport news agenda on a frequent basis, and specialist out-of-office reporting (World Snooker Championship 2009-18, UK Snooker Championship 2011-18, Wimbledon 2009-18, Olympic Games x 2, Commonwealth Games x 2, Women's Euro 2017).I pushed women's football and women's sport hard, particularly from 2013 onwards, establishing a great relationship with the FA and the England Women football set-up.This led to some great stories, including early interviews with the likes of Lucy Bronze, Jodie Taylor and Fran Kirby, and a UK-first exclusive with under-pressure manager Mark Sampson after the Aluko/Spence allegations.Liaising with the sports editor, I produced plans for PA to boost coverage of women's sport, which led to a significantly improved level of content being delivered.This was truly a dream job, but after almost two decades at PA I decided the time had come to chase new experiences.
