Hi, I'm Matthew Jones a History Undergraduate and Sports Journalist for an online sports magazine. I am using this blog to enhance my portfolio and also to give my opinions on all of the sporting headlines from around the world. My specialist sports are football and rugby and I like to both play and watch these sports. I also play badminton non-competitively.

Despite the degree I do at university, Journalism has become my real passion since I started at university. Having a paid job in this industry was a huge step for me as I saw it as a step on the ladder that is so notoriously difficult to get on.

I am a huge Derby County fan and despite not being able to attend matches due to university I watch every game in full. Although my huge passion is Derby I try not be biased towards them in articles as neutrality is a vital aspect of journalism.

I hope you enjoy the blog and any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Matthew.
