About me

Hi, I'm Chris and I've been involved in sports analysis for over 15 years. For much of that time, I've been building and running the company that I co-founded, In-Play Sports.

At In-Play, we specialise in video analysis software, but before that, I spent time working in professional clubs in academy, first team and recruitment analysis positions.

Currently, I also host a podcast where I interview others that are currently working in the sports industry. We mainly cover football analytics, scouting and recruitment. Check out some recent episodes below.
