Tia Thorne

I’m a football writer fortunate enough to follow my beloved Arsenal home and away, as well as across Europe. Alongside my passion for the men’s game, I also freelance within the Women's Super League and closely follow the top two divisions of women’s football in England and help them produce written digital content for their website and now new app. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Football Business & Media from UCFB.
