Some personal news... After six years of having the amazing privilege of covering my hometown club @SunderlandAFC for @ChronicleSAFC the time has come for me to move on. Genuinely hard to put into words how amazing a job this has been #SAFC

From working with & learning from some of the best journalists in the country, all of whom I now consider friends, to interviewing players my dad took me to watch as a kid like Kevin Phillips, the last 6 years have been an absolute blast. Alas, a superb opportunity came up for me

I& #39;m absolutely delighted to announce that I will be moving to @GazetteBoro to cover all things @Boro alongside @DomShawGazette. With my family all from Saltburn and Guisborough way, Teesside was a huge part of my childhood, and the chance to move to a great patch is v. exciting

It& #39;s not lost on me that this week @GazetteBoro lost two absolute titans of #Boro coverage in @TallentireMedia & @untypicalboro. I admire both greatly & know how huge a void their exits leave. Huge shoes to fill, but hopefully our/my coverage does their incredible legacy justice

Here& #39;s hoping for a successful season under Neil Warnock& #39;s stewardship for the #Boro, and to #SAFC fans, I genuinely hope this season can be the start of the revival of the club. You deserve better! Who knows, maybe I& #39;ve been the bad luck charm (Sorry #Boro fans!)
