After spending a decade with the purple brand, Chad looked to broaden his horizons beyond football. In January 2024, he joined Sports Brief, where he covered a wider range of sports. Although he primarily worked as a copy editor, he also contributed written content for both the Sports Brief website and its partner platform, Briefly News.
Alongside his full-time roles, Chad built a strong freelance portfolio. From February 2021 to August 2024, he wrote for SPORTbible, Sports Illustrated, and Absolute Chelsea, producing weekly features, opinion pieces, and transfer news about the club he has supported since childhood.
During this period, he also developed a growing passion for MMA. Between October 2023 and August 2024, Chad contributed to Combat Sports UK, covering UFC and other combat sports. He also completed freelance assignments for 10bet, writing football betting content and horseracing previews.
Since joining SportsBoom in August 2024, Chad has taken on a leadership role overseeing a broad range of betting content. His work spans sports and casino content, bookmaker reviews, betting strategies, interviews, match previews, betting tips, and other engaging editorial features.
