Shawcross: Grit and determination key to victory
The place to get all your Stoke City FC news and info
Louis Eccleston
I am currently a Media Assistant at Stoke City Football Club and a third-year student at Staffordshire University.
Despite my young age, I have already gained vast experience in the world of sports journalism. This includes a variety of interviews with sporting personalities such as Anthony Crolla, Stoke City legend Ryan Shawcross, Nathan 'The Hitman' Heaney, Ex-Canadian National Team managers Michael Findlay and Stephen Hart, alongside a multitude of other names.
I am proficient in writing match reports, conducting interviews both on and off camera, and covering club events such as 'meet the player' nights. I have also provided live coverage of games on X (formally known as Twitter) to an audience of over one million people.
During my time as a student at Staffordshire University, I also helped to plan and execute the 2024 Future Journalist Awards.

Stoke City Women pull 1,500 strong-crowd for five-goal thriller vs West Brom
Stoke City Women bravely fought but fell to a 3-2 defeat against Midland rivals West Bromwich Albion, with a stunner from Albion defender Kerry Walklett helping to settle a close game at the bet365 Stadium.
