• Be a good wordsmith with high editorial standards.
• Live and breathe football.
• Have the creativity to make a story bang by digging out the juiciest details and writing an original, eye-popping headline.

Writers may also be asked to occasionally operate our social media channels (training will be given).

Because the internet is full of the same old stories repeated over and over, we need yours to be different.

Can you make the web a more fun and interesting place for football fans?

Are you a talented and passionate writer who is keen to forge a career as a football journalist?

Do you have the ambition to learn and develop online techniques to maximise the reach of your work and get it viewed by millions worldwide?

If you are coming up with three fat yeses then we want to hear from YOU!

To apply, send your CV to info@footballnewsuk.com with the subject line: “Write for FNUK”.

• One short piece based on an Instagram post (include link to Instagram post).
• A transfer-related news article based on a report from another website or newspaper (include link to original report).
• An original feature article, list or opinion piece.
