Thomas is a concise and creative writer who always produces content to the highest standard, whatever the subject. He is a highly reliable and flexible creator of content and can adapt to different contexts, whether in a written or audio format. At Get Football, he notably hosted a round-up podcast, coordinating different contributors to produce a free-flowing and informative show. As well as being enjoyable to read, his work is also the product of extensive research. He is pleasant to work with and I am confident that he can excel in any content project he takes on beyond the world of sports journalism.
