The Playball Archives
Sports, Reviews, and more.
I've extended my website to contain more variety of things I can write about.
I currently write for several outlets and clients- if you are interested in securing my services please get in touch. I am experienced in writing about football transfer news, and a few more topics.
I have a policy for people wanting to hire me. Answer a few questions for me before you take me on; and we will be set to go.
About Me
My Experiences and more
Currently a young student making his way through the Scottish higher education system focusing mainly on Media and Communications, I aspire to be a big time writer in several areas (not just sports), an expert in football administration, and many more things I can't fit in here. Hobbies tend to be dominated by keeping fit and playing football - collectables have also been a massive part of my life giving me a more diverse interest range.

My CV
Experience & Expertise
I’m a young aspiring student looking to learn new things and continue learning - currently amongst the ranks of Napier University's prestigious Journalism course. Achieving new things in life is something I would like to carry on doing not only in terms of employment and education but also sport. I am a keen football and futsal player having played at a few decent levels before.
I am known as a football nerd by most of my friends in a positive manner- having a massive knowledge on football teams and their players thanks to having spent time studying and self-learning on the subject of the beautiful game. I too show interest in content creation at websites such as YouTube, various journalism outlets which usually means what sort of videos or text, the author would put out plus how it would appeal and engage their fan base.
I am an outgoing person who can take things seriously when needed but can also live his life a little.
I enjoy my writing even when it comes to volunteering and my own blog. I too like to meet up with mates for a leisurely game of football plus meet new people I may not know. Meeting new people is a big point of social life in my opinion and will therefore boost your mentality, mental health and even sometimes business opportunities plus contacts.
In terms of employment and education I have taken a big step up in my work ethic and interest since high school. So far I’ve collected a few valuable work experiences, volunteering roles and professional work in various industries.
My main and best aspect is definitely being able to work within the journalism and writing industry, donning my excellent English and grammar. I have set up my own blog, worked for two companies professionally and I was able to produce quality content for them on text.
I also take commissions and requests with a policy that reflects on what the person who wants to hire me will be using my service for.
Administration is another area I formidably excel in. I have been involved with the committees of a few football/futsal teams that have been successfully ran.
I currently run a 145 year old futsal team based in Edinburgh. As the general secretary I assist and make decisions in almost every department.

Journalist/Writer - Lastwordonfootball
With this innovative website which dons writers from almost all over the world, I was able to finally express my knowledge and turn it into content for the website. I’ve got a few articles I am particularly proud of, that I will showcase below.
I also covered numerous football transfer stories with a formal and informative voice.

Writer - Mightytips.com
I have had multiple tasks involving this website from when I began to work for them. Firstly I helped out with copywriting for the new versions of the website using my English vocabulary expertise and helping out with overall content maintenance plus producing quality English text. Thanks to this I also have a fair understanding of the SEO system.
As a journalist or writer, I help produce football predictions which fuel their website’s traffic. I am to produce the best texts possible and work almost every day on them improving the website and my own writing skills too. Under the guidance of Aigar Shilvan (Ex-Professional Poker player) and Vadim Mikelevics (Content manager) I am gaining valuable experience which I can bring onto my later professional endeavours.
