About Me


My background is in Sports Coaching
I started to coach football aged 17, this progressed into doing a coaching degree at Leeds Beckett University.
I specialised down the analysis pathway during my degree and I had the opportunity to work in Leeds United’s academy and with Bradford City’s first team.
Following my degree, I worked in the gambling industry as a football trader for 6+ years for one of the biggest bookmakers in the United Kingdom.
The COVID lockdowns gave me more free time and I started to see people sharing their own analysis work online.
So I thought, I could do that myself.
After sharing my work online for a number of years I started to get opportunities in football.
Working as a freelance analyst with players directly and football agencies.
I picked up work with a couple of football clubs directly, including Nottingham Forest.
This then progressed into part-time work as a Recruitment Analyst with Wigan Athletic.
After this I left gambling to take a full-time role with a Scottish Premiership as a First Team Data Analyst and Scout.
After two and a half years I have left this role and I am now weighing up new opportunities.
The Unscripted Path
My personal newsletter where I share knowledge, insights and advice on working in football, life outside of the game, and juggling different interests.
