Hello

My name is Stuart McCracken and I currently study at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.  I was born and raised in Magilligan, a small village in the north-west of Northern Ireland before I made the move over the Irish Sea three years ago.  Across these three years in the north-west of England I have obtained substantial experience in the sports journalism field.  Covering sports such as football, rugby union, gymnastics and pickleball.  Work placements at clubs such as Manchester City and Blackpool FC as well as organisations such as The Rugby Paper and TalkingRugbyUnion have helped me build up a range of skills, which I believe would be of great use for any employer in the sports journalism industry.
