Women’s Football Chronicles

Women’s Football Chronciles is a new site created in February 2023 with the aim of providing quality writing and content from within the women’s game, from all around the world.

Whether it be in-depth features, interviews with those within the sport, deep diving profiles, or quick analysis, reaction and opinion to the biggest matches, WFC will provide a dedicated home unique, insightful and in-depth content.

WFC will house content you cannot find elsewhere, and won’t be about breaking news. It will bring a different look at the women’s game, from the eyes of those deep within it, whether it be players, managers or those working behind the scenes, always as delving into some of the most interesting stories out there, with a focus on clubs, countries and people who don’t always get the mainstream focus.

Substack is community funded, and WFC will only be successful with subscriptions which allows investment back into the content I am to provide, so if you want to come along for the ride, hit Subscribe below!


The Creator

I’ve covered women’s football for just over 10 years, starting covering Leeds United Ladies when I was a university student. From there, my first genuine women’s football job was to cover the relaunch of Manchester City Women in 2014.

In 2016, I became a writer in the Women’s Super League and have gone on to cover FA Cup and Champions League finals. as well as four major international tournaments from within the country itself.

I have worked for the likes of The Guardian, Times, Four Four Two, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, World Soccer Magazine and more covering the women’s game around the world, and found the niche of feature-length long-form writing to offer a different perspective on the women’s game.

My aim is to continue that here in a new, dedicate home for content and use my contacts, knowledge and experience to bring new insight to the women’s football audience and focus purely on the football.
