James Cleary
I am a published author with a wealth of sports writing experience, who also writes reviews for a number of different sources. I have an interest in a wide variety of topics, and look forward to contributing something different to the site. I aim to provide preview and review material, analysis and comment, and will utilise both my employment experience in journalism and publishing.
Having written about sport, music and student finance while studying for a journalism degree, I have worked as a sports writer, journalist and editor for the Press Association and Trinity Mirror, two of the UK’s biggest media groups.
I have written about amateur soccer in the UK for Non-League Today and Non-League Daily, and am a published author, having also overseen the release of over 20 sports titles.
